Germany Says 62 Afghans Took Cash to Give Up Entry Pledges

The offer went to about 650 of roughly 1,900 people waiting in Pakistan, with deportations threatened after year‑end.

Overview

  • Germany’s interior ministry reports that 62 people, about ten percent of those contacted, agreed to the proposal to forgo previously issued admission commitments.
  • The package offered several thousand euros plus assistance for a return to Afghanistan in exchange for renouncing the promise of entry to Germany.
  • Officials targeted roughly 650 applicants from the human‑rights list and a bridging programme, while about 1,900 Afghans with pledges continue to wait in Pakistan.
  • Legal pressure persists: by late October at least 117 emergency visa cases were before the Berlin administrative court, with 49 rulings favoring applicants and 18 favoring the government.
  • Time is short as Pakistan has signaled deportations could resume after the year ends, and some affected Afghans have already been sent back in recent months.
