A letter from the Ausländerbehörde: what it means for Ukrainians in 2026

Short answer

Most letters are an appointment invitation, a request for documents (passport, photo, proof of address) or a notice about your permit. What matters is the deadline and the document list; if you cannot attend, tell the office before the appointment.

  1. 1

    Identify the letter type: Einladung / Termin, Anforderung von Unterlagen or Anhörung.

  2. 2

    Note the date, time, address and document list.

  3. 3

    Prepare originals: passport, biometric photo, Meldebescheinigung, current permit.

  4. 4

    If you cannot attend, write or call before the appointment and ask for a new date.

Important

An Anhörung from the Ausländerbehörde (for example about revoking a permit) is a serious letter with its own deadline. Consider refugee counselling or a lawyer.
