The names of suitable persons can 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. A service provider commissioned by the German Government will contact them directly and inform them about the next steps as well as about possibilities to leave the country. Afghans who leave Afghanistan without prior consultation with the service provider cannot as a rule receive assistance from the service provider during transit through Pakistan.

Authorised agencies can put forward the names of individuals either known to them or suggested to them by reliable and trustworthy organisations they are in contact with for selection under the programme.

It is not possible for individuals to put themselves forward for the programme.
