Parliamentary Inquiry Addresses Asylum Seekers Entering with Visas for 2024 and 2025
Berlin, Germany – July 4, 2025 – A new parliamentary inquiry, designated as Drucksache 21/761, has been published today by the German Bundestag, shedding light on the number of asylum seekers who have entered Germany with a visa during the years 2024 and 2025. This formal request for information, submitted by a parliamentary group, seeks to gather detailed data on this specific category of individuals seeking asylum.
The inquiry, titled “Kleine Anfrage Mit Visum eingereiste Asylbewerber in den Jahren 2024 und 2025” (Minor Inquiry: Asylum Seekers Entering with a Visa in the Years 2024 and 2025), aims to provide greater transparency and clarity regarding the entry routes and profiles of individuals seeking protection in Germany. It is understood that the document will pose specific questions to the relevant government ministries, likely the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI), regarding the statistical data, the procedures involved, and any observed trends.
While the full contents of the inquiry are detailed within the PDF document linked to its publication, typical parliamentary inquiries of this nature seek to understand:
- The total number of individuals who applied for asylum after entering Germany with a visa in 2024 and the projected figures for 2025. This would encompass individuals who may have arrived for other purposes, such as tourism, study, or family visits, and subsequently initiated an asylum application.
- The countries of origin of these visa-entering asylum seekers. Understanding the nationalities involved is crucial for assessing geopolitical factors and potential patterns.
- The types of visas used for entry. This could include Schengen visas, national visas, or other specific entry permits.
- The specific procedures and criteria followed by authorities when processing asylum applications from individuals who initially entered with a visa. This may also inquire about potential discrepancies or challenges compared to those arriving without a visa.
- Any analysis or assessment by the government regarding the implications of this entry route for asylum procedures and overall migration management.
The publication of this inquiry signifies the ongoing parliamentary scrutiny of Germany’s asylum and migration policies. Such detailed data collection and questioning are fundamental to the democratic process, enabling informed debate and the development of evidence-based policies. The answers provided by the government to these questions will likely offer valuable insights into the complexities of asylum procedures and the diverse pathways individuals take to seek protection in Germany.
It is expected that the relevant government bodies will respond to this inquiry within the stipulated parliamentary timelines, making the information publicly accessible in due course. This will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and contribute to the ongoing discussion about migration and asylum in Germany.
