The Berlin Administrative Court obliges the Federal Government to present a visa for endangered Afghans from Pakistan.
Visa dispute: Court forces federal government to enter Afghans
The federal government is under pressure. On August 15, 2025, it became known that the Berlin Administrative Court decided that a certain group of people had to be granted to Germany. In this case, it is an Afghan with recording commitment and its 13 family members who have been waiting for visas in Pakistan for some time. This decision is now final because the federal government has withdrawn its complaint against the decision. According to RBB24, the dispute concerns the federal recording program for particularly endangered Afghanen.
The administrative court had already decided on July 7 that the Federal Government is obliged to accept the persons concerned due to non -revoked admission evaluations. No security concerns have been determined in this context, and the identity of the Afghans has been clarified. With the withdrawal of the Federal Government's complaint, the administrative court's decision is now fully valid. Over 2,000 Afghans in Pakistan are currently waiting for an departure to Germany. The majority of these Afghans are former local forces or are particularly at risk.
Difficult situation for Afghans in Pakistan
The situation for many Afghans remains tense. The German embassy in Kabul has been closed since the transfer of power to the Taliban in August 2021. Afghans currently have to go through a screening process in Pakistan before they can enter Germany. Further worrying reports indicate that Pakistani authorities have recently arrested more than 100 waiting Afghans and taken them to a deportation center, further exacerbating the hardships of the affected families.
The case illustrates the challenges with which many Afghans are confronted with endangered. The Federal Government faces the demand to help people in need and to fulfill the above legal obligations, even if the position conditions in Pakistan are becoming increasingly difficult. This legal decision could now motivate other Afghans to also insist on the legal framework that enables them to travel to Germany with a safe departure.
