Wenn die Aufenthaltserlaubnis Ihres Mitarbeiters abgelaufen ist und die Ausländerbehörde noch keine neue erteilt hat, ist es wichtig, die rechtliche Konsequenz zu verstehen. Hat Ihr Mitarbeiter einen Antrag auf Verlängerung gestellt, bevor die Aufenthaltserlaubnis abgelaufen ist, gilt sein bisheriger rechtlicher Status fort – ein Konzept, das als Fiktionswirkung bezeichnet wird. Dies ermöglicht es Ihrem Mitarbeiter, weiterhin in Deutschland zu leben und zu arbeiten.
Zusätzlich kann die Ausländerbehörde eine Fiktionsbescheinigung ausstellen. Diese ist erforderlich, wenn Ihr Mitarbeiter ins Ausland reisen möchte. Senior Associate Isabel Schnitzler erläutert die Fiktionswirkung in diesem Video. Bitte beachten Sie auch Isabels Blog zu diesem Thema für weitere Einblicke: Überlegungen zur Fiktionsbescheinigung in Deutschland.

If your employee's residence permit has expired and the immigration office has yet to issue a new one, it is essential to understand their legal standing. If your employee submitted an application for an extension before their permit expired, they retain valid legal status, a concept known as the “interim effect.” This allows your employee to continue working and residing in Germany during this period. Additionally, the immigration office can issue an interim permit, which is necessary if your employee plans to travel abroad.
Senior Associate Isabel Schnitzler discusses the interim effect and how to obtain the permit in this Mobility Minute. Please also refer to Isabel’s blog on this topic for additional insights: Considerations Surrounding Germany’s “Interim Permit.
