What are the reasons for refusing and accepting asylum in Germany? What are the documents required to apply for asylum in Germany? What are the reasons and conditions for requesting humanitarian asylum in Germany for the Lebanese?
Is the Lebanese entitled to asylum in Germany?
Yes, the Lebanese are entitled to asylum in Germany just like any other person, but the acceptance of asylum in Germany for the Lebanese is linked to the existence of strong evidence because the reasons for asylum can be spoken by anyone. Moreover, Lebanon is classified among the safe countries, and therefore the percentage of rejection of asylum for the Lebanese in Germany is big.
Accordingly, and before you arrive in Germany, you must prepare evidence of the reasons you intend to speak so that you can prove your asylum story.
What are the reasons for asylum in Germany for the Lebanese?
The reasons for asylum in Germany for the Lebanese and others are the same, but for the reasons for asylum to apply to you, you should have evidence that proves your reason, and here is a look at the reasons for humanitarian asylum in Germany:
- The presence of armed conflicts.
- Change of religion or for general religious reasons.
- race or color.
- Because of sexual orientation.
- opinions and political participation.
If one or more of these reasons apply to your case, this reason must be followed by risk to your life, for example being imprisoned or tortured, or being sentenced to death for that reason.
Evidence for humanitarian asylum in Germany
As long as you intend to apply for asylum in Germany from Lebanon and have a reason of your own, you should have evidence that proves this reason.
For example, if you are imprisoned because of a political cause, you should provide papers that prove the case and not just talk about what you went through, because having the evidence will help your asylum application to be accepted.
Otherwise, the authorities of the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees may doubt the reasons for your asylum application, and as a result of this doubt, your application may be considered an economic asylum application due to the economic conditions in Lebanon, and therefore you may be subject to a rejection of asylum.
Documents required to apply for asylum in Germany
After arriving in Germany, you will have to prove your personal identity, and accordingly, you will have to present your passport, and if you do not have a passport, you can present a personal identity card or a military termination card.
Furthermore, you must provide any papers that prove your asylum case as we explained in the previous lines.
Where can I apply for asylum in Germany?
You can apply for humanitarian asylum in Germany after arriving in one of the following places:
- Upon arrival at the German border.
- In police stations in Germany.
- Submitting the application to asylum centers in Germany.
- Submit the application upon arrival at German airports, and this option is not recommended, but if you submit your asylum application at the airport, you must be outside the transit hall because the transit hall is considered international territory.
Therefore, it is difficult for the airport authorities to allow you to apply for asylum after leaving the transit area in Germany.
In general, you should submit your asylum application to Germany within 7 days of your arrival in German territory.
