To have your research facility recognised by the BAMF, you have to file an application in writing.
The research facilities are obliged to assume all the costs for a period of six months which arise if a scientist stays in one of the member states of the European Union (EU) without permission after expiry of his/her residence permit.
Facilities, which are mainly financed from public funds, do not have to submit a declaration that they will assume the costs. The same applies for research projects for which there is a particular public interest. You can find more details in the form and also in the leaflet for the assessment application which the BAMF offers as a download on its website.
After your application has been positively checked, the BAMF recognizes the research facility and lists it in a list of the recognised research facilities (Liste der anerkannten Forschungseinrichtungen).
