1. Overview

other is a routing entity, not a residence status. The app enum needs a catch-all for

people whose title is not one of the twelve modelled statuses, and for people who pick

"Something else / or you would rather not say". This file names the real legal bases behind

that bucket so the assistant can say which provision the person is probably on and hand

them to someone qualified — never answer a humanitarian or Duldung question from a template.

The bucket holds three unrelated populations. Narrow work and academic purposes too small

for their own entity: researchers (§ 18d) and the "other employment purposes" family under

§ 19c with the Beschäftigungsverordnung (au pair, seasonal work, further-training internships,

language teachers and specialty cooks, the experienced-professional route). **Humanitarian

titles** below the refugee/subsidiary layer held by refugee_protection.md: admission from

abroad (§§ 22, 23), national deportation bans (§ 25 Abs. 3), temporary humanitarian grounds

and trafficking victims (§ 25 Abs. 4, 4a, 4b), impossible departure (§ 25 Abs. 5), and the

integration routes for young people (§ 25a) and long-resident families (§ 25b). And

Duldung — not a residence title at all (§ 4 Abs. 1, SRC-291), yet the status many users

routed here actually hold.

Two structural facts drive everything. A Duldung suspends deportation but leaves the duty to

leave untouched (§ 60a Abs. 3, SRC-232) — anyone here on a Duldung has a legal problem, not a

paperwork problem. And § 7 Abs. 1 S. 3 (SRC-149) lets an authority issue a permit for a

purpose the Act does not foresee at all, so no list can be exhaustive.

Deep-coverage rule: no substantive advice. Route to Migrationsberatung für erwachsene

Zuwanderer (MBE), or a Jugendmigrationsdienst (JMD) for under-27s, plus the responsible

Ausländerbehörde. Anything touching Duldung, § 25 or deportation goes to specialised

counselling or a lawyer, not to AusHelp content.

One row per atomic claim. Verified flips to yes only after /source-review.

3.A — Routing map: which provision is the person actually on

#FactValueLegal basisSource IDVerified
3.1ResearchersPermit without BA consent on a hosting agreement with a research institution that undertakes to cover living and removal costs for up to 6 months after the agreement ends; decision within 60 days applies only where the hosting institution is accredited for the special admission procedure (§ 18d Abs. 1 S. 1 Nr. 1 Buchstabe a)§ 18d Abs. 1SRC-280yes
3.2Other employment purposesPermit possible regardless of skilled-worker qualification where the BeschV or an intergovernmental agreement admits that employment (§ 19c Abs. 1); for pronounced practical professional knowledge (§ 19c Abs. 2); or on public, regional or labour-market interest in an individual case (§ 19c Abs. 3)§ 19c Abs. 1–3SRC-133, SRC-282yes
3.3Named BeschV employments in this bucketInternational personnel exchange (§ 10 BeschV), language teachers and specialty cooks (§ 11), au pair (§ 12), household staff of posted employees (§ 13), further-training internships (§ 15), seasonal employment (§ 15a), showmen's assistants (§ 15b), domestic helpers (§ 15c), short-term contingent employment (§ 15d)§ 19c Abs. 1 i.V.m. BeschVSRC-282yes
3.3aExperienced-professional route (the "IT route")§ 6 BeschV Beschäftigung bei ausgeprägter berufspraktischer Erfahrung: at least two years' relevant professional experience acquired in the last five years, and a salary of at least 45 % of the annual contribution assessment ceiling in the statutory pension insurance (waived where the employer is bound by a collective agreement). A qualification recognised in the state of acquisition is normally required, but that requirement does not apply in information- and communication-technology occupations§ 19c Abs. 2 i.V.m. § 6 BeschVSRC-282, SRC-133yes
3.4Humanitarian admission from abroadMay be granted on international-law or urgent humanitarian grounds; must be granted where the BMI (or a body it designates) has declared admission to safeguard German political interests§ 22 S. 1–2SRC-283yes
3.5Land and federal admission programmes, resettlementSupreme Land authority may order permits for defined groups (in agreement with the BMI); BMI may order admission commitments on particular political interests, leading to a residence or settlement permit; resettlement refugees follow the same route§ 23 Abs. 1, 2, 4SRC-284yes
3.6National deportation banWhere a ban under § 60 Abs. 5 or 7 exists, a permit should be issued; refused inter alia where departure to another state is possible and reasonable, or on repeated breach of cooperation duties or serious-crime grounds§ 25 Abs. 3SRC-231yes
3.7Temporary humanitarian or personal groundsTemporary permit possible on urgent humanitarian or personal grounds, or a significant public interest; extension where departure would be an extraordinary hardship; employment needs separate authorisation§ 25 Abs. 4SRC-231yes
3.8Victims of trafficking and of labour exploitationPermit should be issued where the prosecution needs the person present, contact with perpetrators is severed and they agree to testify (Abs. 4a); parallel rule for victims of exploitative employment, extendable while wage claims are unpaid (Abs. 4b)§ 25 Abs. 4a, 4bSRC-231yes
3.9Departure impossiblePermit possible where departure is legally or factually impossible with no foreseeable end; should be issued once deportation has been suspended for 18 months and the obstacle is not the person's fault§ 25 Abs. 5SRC-231yes
3.10Well-integrated young peopleApplication before the 27th birthday; three years' uninterrupted lawful, tolerated or Gestattung residence; as a rule three years' successful schooling or a recognised school/vocational qualification; holder of a § 104c permit or a Duldung for at least 12 months. Parents, minor children and spouses may follow under conditions§ 25a Abs. 1–2SRC-286yes
3.11Sustainable integrationSix years' uninterrupted Duldung/Gestattung/permit residence, four with a minor child in the household; oral German at A2; livelihood predominantly from own work (with listed exceptions); proof of actual school attendance of school-age children; barred on identity deception or obstruction§ 25b Abs. 1SRC-287yes
3.12Duldung is not a residence title§ 4 Abs. 1 lists visa, Aufenthaltserlaubnis, Blaue Karte EU, ICT-Karte, Mobiler-ICT-Karte, Niederlassungserlaubnis / Erlaubnis zum Daueraufenthalt-EU. Duldung is not among them; it only suspends deportation and leaves the duty to leave untouched§ 4 Abs. 1; § 60a Abs. 3SRC-291, SRC-232yes
3.13Duldung variants§ 60a general suspension of deportation; § 60b Duldung für Personen mit ungeklärter Identität; § 60c Ausbildungsduldung; § 60d Beschäftigungsduldung§§ 60a–60dSRC-232, SRC-163, SRC-004yes
3.13a§ 60b — Duldung for people with unresolved identityApplies where removal is blocked by the person's own deception about identity or nationality, or by failure to meet passport-procurement duties. Holders face an employment prohibition and a mandatory residence condition, and this time does not count toward the Duldung periods used elsewhere. The designation can be lifted by afterwards performing the required acts§ 60bSRC-004yes
3.13b§ 60d — BeschäftigungsduldungDuldung for 30 months where a list of conditions is met, including identity clarified by the statutory deadline, at least 12 months' prior Duldung, at least 12 months' continuous employment of 20 hours or more per week, livelihood secured from that employment, sufficient oral German, no relevant convictions, and school attendance of dependent children. Minor unmarried children in the family household receive a Duldung for the same period§ 60dSRC-004yes
3.14Purpose not foreseen by the ActIn justified cases a permit may be issued for a residence purpose the Act does not provide for; such a permit does not authorise gainful work unless separately permitted under § 4a Abs. 1§ 7 Abs. 1 S. 3–4SRC-149yes
3.15Long-term EU residents from another member statePermit issued to a holder of long-term-resident status in another EU member state intending to stay over 90 days; excluded for posted or cross-border service providers and seasonal/cross-border workers§ 38a Abs. 1–2SRC-271yes

3.B — Dimensions required by the template (values differ per sub-status)

#FactValueLegal basisSource IDVerified
3.16Duration and extension — humanitarian titles§§ 22–25 permits are issued and extended for at most three years at a time; § 25 Abs. 3 for at least one year; § 25 Abs. 4 and 5 for six months until 18 months' lawful residence; § 25 Abs. 4a for one year (Abs. 4a S. 3 cases two years). No extension once the obstacle to ending the stay has fallen away§ 26 Abs. 1–2SRC-236yes
3.17Duration and extension — other sub-statuses§ 18d: at least one year, at least two for EU/multilateral mobility programmes, otherwise the project length; § 19c Abs. 4 (civil servants): three years unless the contract is shorter; § 25b: at most two years at a time; general renewal rules of § 8 and Fiktionswirkung under § 81 apply as elsewhere§§ 18d Abs. 4, 19c Abs. 4, 25b Abs. 5, 8, 81SRC-280, SRC-133, SRC-287, SRC-003, SRC-002yes
3.18Work rightsNot uniform. § 18d: research at the named institution plus teaching. § 19c: the employment the BeschV/agreement admits, BA consent per § 39 unless waived. § 23 Abs. 1: as a rule no gainful work unless the Land order provides for it. § 25 Abs. 4: separate authorisation needed. § 7 Abs. 1 S. 3 permits: no work right unless separately granted. Duldung: work is barred in the § 60a Abs. 6 cases§§ 18d Abs. 5, 19c, 23 Abs. 1, 25 Abs. 4, 39, 60a Abs. 6, 7 Abs. 1 S. 4SRC-280, SRC-133, SRC-284, SRC-231, SRC-166, SRC-232, SRC-149yes
3.19Study rightsNot a general feature of this bucket. Under § 38a, §§ 16a and 16b apply accordingly, and a § 16a case is decided without BA consent. Study on other titles here requires a purpose change to § 16b (see student.md)§ 38a Abs. 3SRC-271yes
3.20Self-employment rightsNot granted by any provision in this bucket by default. Under § 38a self-employment is possible where § 21 is satisfied; otherwise § 21 Abs. 6 (separate permission alongside another purpose) is the route§§ 38a, 21SRC-271, SRC-148yes
3.21Family reunification rightsGoverned by the general rules of §§ 27–36a, not by this file. Sub-status-specific rules exist inside § 25a Abs. 2 (parents, minor children, spouse) and § 25b Abs. 4 (spouse, minor children). Otherwise see family_reunification.md§§ 25a Abs. 2, 25b Abs. 4SRC-286, SRC-287yes
3.22Path to permanent residence§ 26 Abs. 4: holders of humanitarian titles may receive a Niederlassungserlaubnis on the conditions of § 9 Abs. 2, with asylum-procedure time counted; § 19c Abs. 4 gives civil servants a settlement permit after three years on modified § 9 conditions. Duldung holders have no path — the Duldung is not a title (3.12)§§ 26 Abs. 4, 19c Abs. 4, 9SRC-236, SRC-133, SRC-146yes
3.23Travel (Schengen / re-entry)A valid German residence permit generally allows up to 90 days in any 180 in other Schengen states without taking up work there; whether a Fiktionsbescheinigung permits re-entry must be confirmed with the Ausländerbehörde first. Duldung holders hold no title and must not assume any travel right (OQ-4)Schengen acquis (AA guidance); § 81SRC-153, SRC-002yes
3.24Access to benefits§ 1 Abs. 1 AsylbLG makes holders of a Duldung under § 60a (Nr. 4) benefit-entitled under the AsylbLG rather than under SGB II; the same applies to people holding a § 23 Abs. 1 permit granted because of war, a § 25 Abs. 4 S. 1 permit, or a § 25 Abs. 5 permit while deportation has been suspended for less than 18 months (Nr. 3), and to enforceably departure-obliged persons (Nr. 5). Other humanitarian titles in this bucket are not listed there (OQ-5). § 25b Abs. 1 Nr. 3 separately tolerates temporary benefit receipt for students, families with minor children, single parents and carers§ 1 Abs. 1 AsylbLG; § 25b Abs. 1 Nr. 3SRC-247, SRC-287yes
3.25Conditions for loss / revocationValidity may be shortened retroactively when an essential issuance condition ceases (§ 7 Abs. 2 S. 2); § 26 Abs. 2 bars extension once the obstacle to ending the stay has gone; a Duldung ends on departure or revocation (§ 60a Abs. 5)§§ 7 Abs. 2, 26 Abs. 2, 60a Abs. 5SRC-149, SRC-236, SRC-232yes
3.26Special obligationsA Duldung certificate is issued (§ 60a Abs. 4); § 25a/§ 25b applicants must not obstruct removal by false identity statements; the general cooperation duty of § 82 applies throughout. Anmeldung, health insurance and Steuer-ID are universal-layer requirements and are not restated here§§ 60a Abs. 4, 25a, 25b, 82SRC-232, SRC-286, SRC-287, SRC-122yes

4.1 Routing (P1)

The only process AusHelp should run itself. Read the title from the person's document

(Aufenthaltstitel or Duldungsbescheinigung), map the printed provision against 3.1–3.15,

and either hand off to the matching entity file or escalate under P11. Never infer a

humanitarian sub-status from circumstances — the printed provision governs.

4.2 Transitions into a title from Duldung (P5)

The three realistic routes are § 25 Abs. 5 (deportation suspended 18 months, obstacle not

self-inflicted — SRC-231), § 25a (under 27, three years' residence, twelve months' Duldung,

schooling — SRC-286) and § 25b (six years, or four with a minor child, A2 German, livelihood

predominantly from own work — SRC-287). All three are counselling territory: the exclusion

grounds turn on identity documentation and cooperation history, which AusHelp cannot assess.

4.3 Escalation (P11)

Default action for this file. Migrationsberatung für erwachsene Zuwanderer (MBE) for adults —

free of charge, delivered by the six welfare associations and the Bund der Vertriebenen, with

local offices findable through BAMF-NAvI (SRC-292). Jugendmigrationsdienste (JMD) for young

people aged 12 to 27, funded by the BMFSFJ, around 479 offices nationwide (SRC-293); the exact

MBE/JMD age boundary is recorded as OQ-1. Then the responsible Ausländerbehörde for the

decision itself (Berlin: LEA, CH-008) and BAMF for federal migration questions (CH-004).

Fees and appointment routes are local and are not stated here.

SRC-293 is a Level D programme portal and backs only the escalation-routing row RS-013-A7,

never a legal claim (standards/source-policy.md). Replace it with a BMFSFJ Level B page at

source review — recorded as OQ-1.

9. Open questions and uncertainty

  1. Counselling sources (SRC-292, SRC-293). The BAMF MBE page confirms the service is free and names the seven providers but states no age boundary; a BAMF overview reached via search indicated MBE serves immigrants "from age 28", complementing the JMD's 12–27 range — not confirmed on a fetched page. SRC-293 is a Level D programme portal and must be replaced by a BMFSFJ Level B page at source review.
  2. SRC id block exhausted. §§ 60b and 60d were fetched and verified from their own gesetze-im-internet.de pages on 2026-08-26, but the RS-013 block (SRC-280–294) had no ids left, so 3.13a/3.13b cite the consolidated Act text (SRC-004). Source review should extend the block and give both sections their own ids.
  3. § 6 BeschV salary threshold (3.3a). The rule (45 % of the annual Beitragsbemessungsgrenze in the statutory pension insurance) is a formula, not a figure; no euro amount is stated. Compute the 2026 equivalent from the current BBG at use time.
  4. Travel and residence restrictions for Duldung holders (3.23). Nothing was fetched on whether a Duldung permits leaving or re-entering Germany; § 61 AufenthG (räumliche Beschränkung) and § 60b's Wohnsitzauflage were named but not researched. No claim made.
  5. Benefit regime for the remaining humanitarian titles (3.24). § 1 Abs. 1 AsylbLG was verified for Duldung, § 23 Abs. 1 (war), § 25 Abs. 4 S. 1 and § 25 Abs. 5 (under 18 months). Where a § 22, § 25 Abs. 3, § 25a or § 25b holder falls is unresolved.
  6. Fees. No fee in this file is verified. § 45 AufenthV likely governs, but the amounts for humanitarian titles and Duldung certificates were not checked.
  7. Scope boundary. § 25 Abs. 1–2 belongs to refugee_protection.md and § 24 to temporary_protection.md; § 23 Abs. 3 was not researched. Confirm no overlap at review.
  8. Summary-level capture. § 25a Abs. 3–4, § 25b Abs. 2–5, § 18d Abs. 3 and § 19c Abs. 4's modified § 9 conditions were paraphrased, not read verbatim. Verify before any quote.
  9. § 104c AufenthG (Chancen-Aufenthaltsrecht) appears inside § 25a as a qualifying prior status but was not researched; whether it is open to new applicants in 2026 is unverified.
  10. Land-level variation for §§ 23 Abs. 1 and 60a Abs. 1 orders is non-federal by definition; no Land programme was checked. Berlin specifics are absent from this file.
  11. Register write-back. SRC-280–294 are allocated here but not yet appended to ../sources/source-register.csv — this file edits nothing else. Source review must append them and record the § 60b / § 60d gap from OQ-2.
