DescriptionThe resolutions adopted by the European Parliament and PACE are purely advisory in nature. For these mechanisms to take effect, each European country must incorporate them into its own national immigration legislation. Traditionally, Germany (the Bundestag) has been the most proactive in responding to such requests from human rights advocates and migration committees. If the German authorities decide to set an example for the rest of the European Union, consideration of the first amendments to the Residence Act (Aufenthaltsgesetz) will begin immediately after lawmakers return from their summer recess. The question is whether an official bill on issuing “foreigner’s passports” to this category of individuals will be introduced in the Bundestag during the fall session.
ConditionsYes: if, between October 15 and November 15, 2026, a bill (or an amendment to existing legislation) is officially introduced or registered in the German Bundestag regarding the issuance of “gray passports” (foreign passports) to exiles in accordance with PACE recommendations. No: if, between October 15 and November 15, 2026, such a bill is not submitted for official consideration in the Bundestag.
