Overview
- The Interior Ministry confirmed targeted offers sent via GIZ to specific cohorts in Pakistan, notably people on the human rights list (about 60) and the bridging program (roughly 600), not former local staff.
- Emails outline payments of roughly €2,500 before departure and up to €10,000 after departure, plus help with exit permits, transport, medical care and three months of support in Afghanistan.
- Accepting the offer removes families from all German admission procedures with no possibility of reinstatement, and decisions are requested by November 17.
- Roughly 1,900 to 2,100 people with German admission promises remain in Pakistan as security checks drag on and Pakistan allows procedures only through the end of 2025.
- Rights groups and opposition politicians condemn the plan as unsafe and unlawful, courts continue to order individual entries, and seven families (31 people) arrived in Hannover after winning cases in Berlin.
