What is a residence permit (Aufenthaltstitel)?

10th Nov 2024 Updated on: 10th Nov 2024

If you are not an EU or EEA citizen, you usually need a residence permit (Aufenthaltstitel or Aufenthaltserlaubnis) to live in Germany. You apply for a residence permit at the Ausländerbehörde, or at the German embassy or consulate in your home country.

There are different residence permits for various purposes: working, studying, starting a business and more. The Blue Card, the work visa, the student visa and the freelance visa are residence permits.
