Digital immigration services now accessible online / New offerings in the digital city hall
The Foreigners' Office in Magdeburg has taken a significant step towards digital transformation, offering a wide range of online services that contribute significantly to efficient processing.
Residents and foreigners alike can now access the Foreigners' Office's digital services primarily through their website, www.magdeburg.de/foreigners-office. The website, which serves as the primary source for accessing these online services, has a new visual representation, as shown in the photo by Vincent Gulatz.
One of the key services now available online is the application for the issuance and extension of humanitarian residence permits based on decisions of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). This service, while not explicitly named in the search results, is typically provided by the local immigration or foreigners' authority (Ausländerbehörde) of the city or district where Magdeburg is located (Sachsen-Anhalt).
The Foreigners' Office in Magdeburg also offers digital application forms for the transfer of settlement permits and reporting the loss of residence titles. These forms aim to reduce time and organizational effort for both parties, making the process more convenient and efficient.
In line with their digital focus, the Foreigners' Office in Magdeburg no longer sends additional documents by post. This shift towards digital services is encouraged, as it not only streamlines the process but also reduces paper usage.
The Foreigners' Office's digital services are user-friendly and accessible, making it easier for people to interact with the authority in the digital age. The online application process for these services reduces time and organizational effort for both parties, making it a win-win situation.
Vincent Gulatz captured the new face of the Foreigners' Office in Magdeburg with his photograph, which serves as a testament to the office's commitment to modernisation. The digital services offered by the Foreigners' Office in Magdeburg are indeed a step forward in providing efficient, accessible, and user-friendly services to the public.
