Apply for reimbursement of the cost contribution (50 percent) for the integration course

Service Description

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) is a higher German federal authority and is responsible for reimbursing the cost contribution for successfully completed integration courses.

The prerequisite is that your integration course was subject to a cost contribution and that you achieved your "Integration course certificate" within the statutory period after your first participation authorization was issued.

The legal deadline is 2 years for certificates issued before 31.01.2023. If your authorization to participate was issued from 01.02.2023, the legal deadline is 2 years for participation in a general integration course and 3 years for participation in a special integration course in accordance with § 13 Paragraph 1 of the Integration Course Ordinance (IntV). This includes, for example, a literacy course, a second language course, a youth integration course and a parents' or women's integration course.

You must successfully complete the language and orientation course with the final tests "Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer" and "Leben in Deutschland". You have paid your fee to your course provider.

If you have attended the integration course free of charge throughout or have not achieved the "Integration course certificate", you will not receive a refund.

Reimbursement will be made on a pro rata basis unless you were exempt from the costs for the entire integration course.

You can submit your application online or in writing to the BAMF.
