Help for Ukraine
There are many people coming from Ukraine to Germany to get help. When you arrive in Bamberg, you’ll find all important information right here.

Registration
Status under aliens law - Ausländerrechtlicher Status
Ukrainian citizens in Germany can stay here visa-free for a maximum of 90 days. After these 90 days they can apply for further 90 days at the foreigners’ registration office. (Ausländerbehörde)
It is planned by the federal government to grant a right of residence for refugees from Ukraine. First, it is supposed to be limited to two years. There is a possibility to elongate the stay to a maximum of three years.
Displaced persons from Ukraine do not have to go through an asylum procedure. An asylum application (Asylantrag) is therefore not necessary. It is recommended not to apply for an asylum application as a ukrainian citizen. The “Massenzustrom-Richtline” (§ 24 AufenthG) applies (mass inflow guideline)
If you need financial help, apply for benefits under the Asylum Seekers’ Benefits Act anyway.
Starting from 03.16.2022, arriving ukrainians will be distributed among the federal states. If you rely on financial assistance from the state, you will be assigned or reassigned to a location to enroll. You can’t decide yourself where you want to live. (§ 24 Abs. 5 AufenthG). When you receive your residence permit from the Aliens’ Registration Office, a residence requirement (Wohnsitzauflage) is entered there. If you have work, this can be omitted
- You'll find updated information here:
Staying with family or acquaintances
This information is for all Ukrainian people who live in the city of Bamberg in a private apartment. This means that you are accommodated by your family, friends, acquaintances, another private person or accommodation provided by the city of Bamberg. This doesn’t aplly for people living in the Anker-Zentrum. If you do not have a place to stay in Bamberg, you will stay at the Anker Center until you are redistributed to another location.
Registration
All people who stay in the city of Bamberg have to register at the ANKER-Zentrum with their ID card.
Send a mail to:
ukraine@reg-ofr.bayern.de
In the mail, mention the name and date of birth of everyone, where you currently live and that you want to sign up for registration.
You will get a response e-mail to your registration. While you are waiting for an appointment for registration, you can already register with the city (book an appointment at the Residents’ Registration Office/ Einwohnermeldeamt) and apply for asylum benefits.
Because currently not so many people come anymore, you can go directly to the ANKER-Zentrum on a weekday to register. Tell them that you have an accomodation in Bamerg.

ATTENTION:
All persons who fled from Ukraine to Germany after the first of June 2022 must also first apply for asylum seeker benefits. Only when you are registered at the Residents’ Registration Office/ Einwohnermeldeamt (see below) and have a residence permit, you can submit an application to the Jobcenter.
Registration Residents' Registration Office (Einwohnermeldeamt)
Another appointment you need to take care of is the registration at the Residents’ Registration Office (Einwohnermeldeamt). You do that at the City Hall. You have to book an appointment in Bamberg online.
You can book this appointment before your registration at the Anker-Zentrum.
Click on the link below and select if you are up to three persons or from four persons up. You can book a vacant appointment.
Please bring to the appointment a confirmation from the person with whom you live (housing provider confirmation/Wohnungsgeberbestätigung) and your ukrainian passport.
Appointment foreigners authority for residence permit
Once your registration is complete, you can request an appointment at the Immigration Office. Send a mail toabh@stadt.bamberg.de with the request for an appointment for a residence permit.
If you have been given an appointment, it is essential that you bring the following documents to your appointment at the Town Hall on Maxplatz:
- Confirmation of registration in the Anker-Zentrum.
- Completed and signed application for a residence permit according to §24 AufenthG, which you received during registration. (Application for residence permit §24 AufenthG)
- ukrainian passport
- 1 biometric photo (passport picture)
- Notice from the social welfare office about benefits (confirmation that you have received money) or proof of health insurance (only if you are already starting a job)
If you absolutely need help interpreting at the appointment, you must register the person in advance with name and date of birth.
- Do you have an ukarainian ID-Card issued after 2015 and the foreigners authority has only issued you a fictitious certificate (Fiktionsbescheinigung)? The ID-Card is a valid identification document. You do not need to apply for a new identification document at the embassy or consulate. Contact the immigration office again. They will issue you a residence permit.
- If your name or date of birth was noted incorrectly during registration, then be sure to have the data changed at the appointment at the Foreigners' Registration Office! It is important that the name is spelled correctly in your papers and your date of birth!
Switch from Social welfare office to Jobcenter
Until you get your residence permit, you will get money from the social welfare office. Later, the Jobcenter is responsible for the financial aid. All refugees from Ukraine will then receive benefits under SGB II (Bürgergeld).
In order for the job center to process an application, the person must have a residence title (§24) or a fictitious certificate. Until the application is approved by the job center, you will continue to receive money from the social welfare office. If you already have a bank account, send your account details (IBAN) with your name and date of birth to asyl@stadt.bamberg.deThen your money will be transferred automatically. It is faster.
How does the change work?
- Fill in the application: Short application Jobcenter
Please note that applications are not submitted per person or for the entire family, but per so-called “Bedarfsgemeinschaft” (BG/ Community of need).
Parents and their children until the age of 25 are a Bedarfgemeinschaft. Exception: the child has own children - When you are more than 4 people, write down all further people on this form: Further people Jobcenter
needed documents:
- Copy of all passports of all family members
- Fictitious certificate or residence permit of all family members
- Proof of the amount of the costs of accommodation (copy of the rental contract or rent certificate Jobcenter Stadt Bamberg)
- Notification of which health insurance company you have selected. Find out about: Health insurance companies (also in ukrainian)
- Notification if the registered children are not the biological children, but e.g. grandchildren
Persons of retirement age
Since the Job Center only pays benefits to people of working age, people of
retirement age don’t switch Rentenalter nicht into the benefit system of the job center, but within the social welfare office into the
Basic income support (Grundsicherungsbezug). They do not receive a pension from the pension fund, but receive basic income support in old age.. The entry age for a German pension is the same for foreigners as for German citizens.
If you are a pensioner living in Bamberg, you will receive basic benefits in old age (Grundsicherung im Alter) from the Office for Social Affairs of the City of Bamberg. The statutory retirement age varies – depending on the type of retirement pension – between 63 and 67. Relevant to the jobcenter in making the decision are:
- your age and
- if you already got pension in ukraine.
All people that are born 1955 and before stay in the system of the social welfare office and receive Basic benefits in old age (Grundsicherung im Alter).
For all people born from 1956, it will be checked. Those who already receive pensions in Ukraine remain in the Social Affairs Office and receive basic benefits in old age (Grundsicherung im Alter).
Currently, it is still being clarified how proof of pension receipt in Ukraine can be provided if the orange pension card is not available.
Jobcenter - Duty to notify in case of absence
If you receive money from the Jobcenter, you must inform the Jobcenter or submit an application if you want to leave your place of residence in Germany (e.g. Bamberg). The request / information regarding the so-called “local absence” must necessarily be made BEFORE the trip. You are legally obliged to do that!
If the job center has approved the request, you will continue to receive money for the period of absence and will be covered by health insurance.
You are entitled to 21 days of paid “local absence” per year.
Example: You want to travel for 6 weeks and the job center has approved the request. You will continue to receive your Unemployment Benefit II for the first 3 weeks, but will not receive it for the additional 3 weeks.
If the trip lasts more than 6 weeks you are NOT entitled to unemployment benefit II for the entire time of the trip. Upon return, the application for financial assistance must be resubmitted.
Inform yourself BEFORE a trip in time at the Jobcenter!
Child Benefits - Kindergeld
If you have children and receive money from the Jobcenter, you must apply for child benefit.
You will then receive child benefits from the family benefits office. In return, the Jobcenter will transfer less to you.
Send the Job Center a notice if you have applied for child support. If you have received a notification for child benefit from the Family benefits office, you must send a copy to the Job Center.
You can send the application by mail, drop it in the mailbox at the Job Center, or mail the documents to:
Mannlehenweg 27
96050 Bamberg

You’ll find on the website www.germany4ukraine.deunder the point “Wie beantrage ich Kindergeld?” (How do I apply for child benefits?) Videos (in ukrainian und russian) which explain how to fill in the application.
Conclusion of health insurance
When you switch to the Job Center, you must have selected a health insurance plan with which you are covered.
Every Person can choose their health insurance freely. The different possibilities can be found here:Health insurances (also in ukrainian)
When applying to the health insurance fund, you specify “Bezug von ALG II” as the reason for compulsory insurance.
Living in the ANKER-Zentrum - without housing options
If you have no possibility for private accommodation with relatives in Bamberg, you can go directly to the ANKER-Zentrum. There, all arriving people will get a place to sleep and something to eat. There are also doctors here who can help you if you need medication or treatment.
There is also a clothing room where you can get clothing. The clothing room (Kleiderkammer) is in unit 3. It is opened every monday, tuesday and wednesday from 13:00 to 16:00 and thursday from 08:30 to 11:30.
You will stay here until you are moved to another place in Upper Franconia where you can stay for the next time. You can’t choose the place, you will be assigned.
Don’t give away your passport! If it is needed somewhere, the office can make a copy.
- You can move freely in Germany. If you are not dependent on financial aid, you can live where you can find housing.

Bankaccount
A bank account is very important in Germany because most payments are made by bank transfer. If you receive benefits from the Jobcenter or work, the money will be transferred to your account. Rent, electricity, cell phone charges, insurance and many other things are also transferred. Therefore you should open a bankaccount wherever you live.
Open a bank account
To open an account you only need to show your ukrainian passport.
- You can open a bank account at any branch of VR Bank Bamberg-Forchheim.

US Dollars can be exchanged as well. All branches of the Sparkasse in the city and district offer a cash exchange for refugees from Ukraine. The Sparkasse changes at the daily rate and waives fees. Exchanges are limited to 2,000 USD per person due to money laundering laws.

This means that in the case of acute illness, the social welfare office takes over the costs. You are not yet insured in a health insurance and are treated only with sickbill (Krankenschein).
In case of an emergency you don’t need a treatment certificate (Behandlungsschein). Just call 112. You will find further information under: Emergency call
Sick - What now?
If you are acutely ill or in pain and want to see a doctor, you must first obtain a treatment certificate from the social welfare office. (Only when you are working can you apply for health insurance membership and then get an insurance card).

- Name and address of the doctor’s office to be visited.
- Photo of Ukrainian passport or specify full name and her date of birth.

In case of an emergency you don’t need a treatment certificate (Behandlungsschein). Just call 112. You will find further information under: Emergency call
- Sick bills are issued only to general or family practitioners, gynecologists, pediatricians, and dentists. These practices can then issue referral slips for specialists for more advanced examinations, if needed. In these cases, a copy of the sick bill must then be attached to the referral slip.

Insurance for ukrainian vehicles
The German office “Grpne Karte” is in close contact with the Ukrainian colleagues. Despite the situation in Ukraine, Ukrainian insurers continue to operate and are often able to issue a Grüne Karte valid for Germany electronically to those insured in Ukraine.
You’ll find further information here: http://www.gruene-karte.de/de/ukrainische-fahrzeuge-in-deutschland/
Every vehicle that stays in Germany permanently has to be reregistered! According to tax law, vehicle taxes must be paid after 6 months. They have to be paid as soon as the car gets a german number plate.
If a vehicle comes from outside the EU, it must also be cleared at customs (Zoll). There are transitional periods for Ukrainian vehicles: customs must be cleared here only 1 year after importation.
If the vehicle is not re-registered, this is a violation of German tax laws (vehicle tax and import tax/ Kfz-Steuer und Einfuhrsteuer).
Ukrainian vehicles must be reregistered 6 to 12 months after entry.
What can happen if you don’t do this?
- You drive without a valid license (Zulassung). This is an administrative offense and costs 70€.
- You commit tax evasion. It is a crime according to §370 paragraph 1 Nr. 2 AO. In the event of an inspection, the police can immobilize the car and collect the tax debt (enforcement/ Zwangsvollstreckung). You won’t be allowed to drive the vehicle anymore. The city of Bamberg has already pointed this out several times.
How does the reregistration work?
- All vehicles must have a TÜV main and exhaust emission test (Haupt- und Abgasuntersuchung) or a TÜV certificate (§21 StVZO)
- In order to know, for little money first, whether and what work is necessary to get the car through the TÜV, a preliminary inspection (Vorabuntersuchung) can be carried out. You can book an appointment for this purpose at a workshop. The workshop will determine whether the vehicle needs to be converted for the TÜV and how much the conversion will cost. (Costs 15-50 €) Here are some suggestions for Russian-speaking workshops in Bamberg:

Lagerhausstraße 2
96052 Bamberg
Tel. 01590 14 00 920
- The owner must then modify the vehicle at his own expense, e.g. remove front window obscuration, remove retrofit xenon headlights, …).
If the conversions are more expensive than the car (economic total loss), the vehicle must be re-exported from the EU. It can only be sold outside the EU. Within the EU, the only option is scrapping.
- If a CoC-sheet is available, a TÜV main and exhaust inspection can then simply be carried out. (Costs: ca. 150 €)
- If no CoC-sheet is available, a TÜV certificate (§ 21 StVZO/HU, AU) must be issued.
For this you can, preferably in person (with the help of Google Translator) make an appointment at the TÜV (see below for addresses). The costs will be between 150 and 800€. Ask them. You can also ask a workshop if they can help with the TÜV. If you have the certificate, you must keep this receipt well.
