Changes to Germany Migration Policy
Germany’s incoming government has presented its plans for the next four years. This includes many changes for migrants and refugees – including an easier path to citizenship and family reunification.
Lets have a look what the new government has to offer to its future Migrant workforce.
Easier family reunification, but more repatriations
The new German government are planning to enable more people who have been granted refugee status, subsidiary protection or any other comparable level of protection to bring their relatives to Germany as part of family reunifications.
The three parties also announced that they are planning to not build any new so-called Anchor-centers. Instead the Government wants to speed up asylum procedures and launch a “repatriation offensive” for individuals who don’t have legal grounds to remain in Germany.
Resettlement for people fleeing persecution
The new coalition government also promised to reduce the backlog of cases at the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) in order to speed up asylum procedures. As part of the shift in migration policy, the new government also hopes to create further opportunities for people fleeing persecution to come to Germany using legal means.
Providing Legal Status to Immigrants
The new Government has promised to create permanent right of residence for law-abiding foreigners who have been living in Germany for years without legal status. They want anyone who has been living in Germany for five years by January 1, 2022, who has not committed any criminal offenses and who is committed to abide by the free democratic order of the country to be able to obtain a one-year residence permit on a probationary basis.
New asylum system at EU level
The designated governing parties are also planning to seek a reform to the asylum system within the European Union. Their eventual goal is to establish a fair distribution of responsibility and jurisdiction for admission of migrants among the EU states.
