The German government has announced an admission program for Afghans at risk – what does that mean, and how does it work?

IMPORTANT: The application for the admission program with us or another registering NGO does NOT require any payment. Providers inside or outside of the country who take your money are NOT official and they CANNOT register you for the program.

The ministries of the interior and exterior have finalized a humanitarian admission program, which will cover 1000 people (family members already included) per month; HOWEVER, note the following:

  • The program proceeds in layered selection rounds. Therefore, it is not an emergency evacuation programme, but will stretch over the next months and possibly years
  • Individuals CAN NOT register with the government themselves.
  • Only selected NGOs, one of which is Kabul Luftbruecke, can propose individuals for the program.
  • Each proposal submitted by an NGO must then be reviewed by the “Civil Society Coordination Unit”, and can then be entered as an application into the Admission Program.
  • For receiving all relevant instructions and information about the programme and how to get registered with us, use this link: KLB Registration for Admission Program
  • Sending us applications with attachments in emails is not helpful and might lead to our servers crashing and your data being unprotected.
  • The programme is designed and executed by the German government. The government’s website section on the programme you can find here: Federal Admission Program for Afghanistan
  • The selection process of people to enter the programme lies with the German government.
  • We cannot guarantee, speed up, influence or track applications we submit.
