The names of suitable persons may be put forward by authorised agencies.

The German Government selects persons for admission at regular intervals. All the nominations available at the given point in time are considered.

Those selected for admission are offered assistance in leaving Afghanistan. They then receive a visa and assistance with their onward journey to Germany at a German mission abroad, for example in one of Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries.

At the start of the programme, the focus will initially be on persons on whom the participating agencies already have information. The plan is to create opportunities for new registrations at a later stage of the programme.
