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.
