Ausbildungsduldung: Verlängerung beantragen

If you are in possession of a tolerated stay permit and your training cannot be completed within the planned period, your tolerated stay permit will be extended for the extension period of your vocational training.

The training toleration permit is generally issued for the duration of the training specified in the training contract. If you can already foresee that you will not be able to complete your training in the planned time, you must apply for an extension of the training toleration.

An extension may be considered, for example, if you do not pass the final examination.

The vocational training contract is usually extended until the next repeat examination. The extension will also be entered in the register of vocational training relationships. Upon application, the training toleration will also be extended for the extension period of the vocational training.

The extension of the training toleration is also required after the successful completion of a state-recognized or comparably regulated assistant or helper training for the period of the subsequent qualified vocational training.

If the training relationship is terminated prematurely or broken off, the training toleration expires.

In this case, it depends on whether anything has changed since the initial application for training toleration (including whether the training place commitment for the subsequent training continues and whether it is still a so-called "shortage occupation").

You may remain in Germany for the duration of the validity of the Ausbildungsduldung and cannot be deported.

Cost amount (fixed) Fee:

• EUR 62.00 for the training permit with carrier form

Remark:

The foreigners authority may charge a fee for the extension of the training toleration. The time and form in which the fee is charged and paid varies depending on the authority.

In certain cases, fee reductions or exemptions may be considered (for example, if you cannot earn a living without drawing on public benefits).

• You must apply for an extension of your training toleration before the validity of your previous training toleration expires.
• Find out whether your foreigners authority allows you to apply online or has a special application form.
• If you can only apply in person, make an appointment at the immigration office. If you apply online, the immigration office will contact you after receiving your application to arrange an appointment.
• During the appointment, your identity and documents will be checked (please bring your documents to the appointment, in the original if possible).
• If your application is approved, you may receive your new tolerated stay permit during the appointment. If your application is rejected, you will receive a notice of rejection. In this case, you will not be allowed to start your training.

The processing time may vary depending on how busy the Foreigners' Registration Office is. As the Ausbildungsduldung is issued at the Foreigners' Registration Office, it is generally possible to hand it over during the interview.

The extension should be applied for in good time before your previous training toleration expires.

The validity of the Ausbildungsduldung depends on the remaining duration of the training.

The Ausbildungsduldung will be extended by a maximum of one year if the trainee does not pass the final examination, the training is extended and proof of the next examination date is available.

• After successfully completing vocational training, a residence permit for a further two years may be considered ("3+2" regulation). If the trainee is not taken on by the training company, a tolerated stay permit is initially issued for six months to enable the trainee to look for work.
• If the training relationship is terminated prematurely or broken off, the training toleration expires. In order to look for a new training place, a tolerated stay can be granted once for six months. Training companies and educational institutions are obliged to inform the Immigration Office within two weeks of the termination of training.
• It is not possible to travel abroad with a tolerated stay permit.
• The training toleration expires in the event of a conviction, deportation or if a deportation order is issued to avert a particular danger, especially a terrorist danger.
