Germany to Reject Entry Requests for 640 Afghans on Official Admission Lists

The decision deepens a dispute over unfulfilled admission promises under pressure from Pakistan’s year-end deadline.

Overview

  • Germany’s Interior Ministry said about 640 listed Afghans will be notified there is no political interest in admitting them, adding they will receive support in their current refuge countries.
  • Roughly 1,800 to 1,900 people with earlier German admission commitments are still waiting to be brought to safety, with advocates noting most are women and children.
  • More than 250 organisations and prominent figures issued the “Kabuler Appell,” urging the government to admit those with guarantees before year’s end.
  • Lawyers say many clients secure visas only after court action and report that BAMF has revoked some commitments later restored through further litigation.
  • Pakistan has given Germany until the end of December to complete transfers, warning that deportations to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan could follow.
