Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF)

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) is Germany’s main government agency responsible for managing immigration, refugee status, and integration policies. It processes asylum applications, assesses whether individuals qualify for refugee protection, and supports refugees in settling into German society. BAMF also develops programs related to integration, language courses, and social services for newcomers. Its goal is to ensure a fair, efficient, and humane immigration process while promoting social cohesion and compliance with national and international laws regarding migration.
