Hello, 

I recently met someone who had to flee from their abusive home in an Eastern European country…  and had to leave all documents behind bc they were taken from them by the abusive parent…

 Reapplying for a new passport at the embassy is too dangerous bc of fear of the parent finding them.

   The person’s application for asylum in another European country was rejected. So they now live in Germany in constant fear of being deported. Meanwhile getting a job in order to get a residence permit as work migrant  is nearly impossible without documents.

     Any advice how to safely get documented again / get a legal status in Germany?

Dear Hülya,

Thank you for sharing your inquiry with us and we are glad that you reached out.
