Duldung

A temporary suspension of deportation for people who are obliged to leave but cannot be deported, for example due to illness or missing documents. It is not a residence permit — it often restricts where you may live and whether you may work, and it must be renewed regularly. Ask a migration advice centre about routes out of Duldung, such as an Ausbildungsduldung or an employment-based permit.

In plain German

Die Abschiebung wird vorübergehend gestoppt – ein echtes Aufenthaltsrecht ist das nicht.

تعليق مؤقت للترحيل لمن هم ملزمون بمغادرة البلاد لكن يتعذر ترحيلهم، بسبب المرض أو نقص الوثائق مثلًا. وهي ليست تصريح إقامة، إذ تقيّد غالبًا مكان سكنك وإمكانية عملك ويجب تجديدها بانتظام. استشر مركزًا لاستشارات الهجرة حول سبل الخروج منها، مثل دولدونغ التدريب المهني أو تصريح إقامة مرتبط بالعمل.

As it appears in letters

Ihre Duldung wird bis zum 15.01.2027 verlängert; sie erlischt mit Wegfall des Abschiebungshindernisses.
