Hi guys,

I have a question and hope to get answers from you all who have experience/knowledge about this.

I am Arbeitslos since 1st Jan 2004. I am entitled to Arbeitslosengeld till 31 Dec. 2004 (1 year) which I am receiving regularly. Legally, my Visa should be valid at least till 31st Dec. 2004, although on my Visa the date written is till end of April 2005. After getting Arbeitslos, I did not go to Ausländerbehörde as per requirement. Now, I need to visit home country in late June and am coming back on 2nd July. I want to know if there could be any problems in coming back? How important was/is it to go to the Ausländerbehörde?

Thanks for your replies.
Chriag.

HI Chriag,

I think it is the "Ausländerbehörde" that can actually clear your doubts.

Cheers

Dont Worry, you will not get any problem from immigration department because you have a valid visa to go out and in to Germany. I have no similar incident, but I travel quite of outside Germany. The immigration department looks at my Visa and let me in.

But you must let Arbeitsamt know that you are going away!!!!

If they do not react then better not to go to them. because they can try to get your papers in order and cut your residence permit correspondingly *lol*

if you did not get any notification from an immigration office, you are checking your briefcase and you are registered on the adress where the briefcase is located, you do not have to worry. but, as it was absolutely rightly said, you need to tell your local employment office that you will not be in Germany for a time being. otherwise you can come back and find out that your unemployment benefit is not going to be paid to you for some period of time

*briefcase*

lol mail box of course. my mistake
