Jurisdiction

The Ausländerbehörde Wuppertal has two relevant points of contact. The main office is located at Friedrich-Engels-Allee 28 and handles all residence-law matters. In addition, since October 2024 there is the Servicestelle Arbeits- und Fachkräfte (Labour and Skilled Worker Service Centre) at Bendahler Straße (Wicküler City), which is specifically focused on labour migration and brings together the Ausländerbehörde's skilled-worker and employer services team with the labour-market integration team of the Kommunales Integrationszentrum.

Responsible for postal codes 42103–42389 (21)

Good to know

In Wuppertal there is no open online booking system. Instead, you submit your documents and the completed application form through the Ausländerbehörde contact form on the city website. The office then gets back to you directly and arranges the appointment by phone, email, or post. Allow plenty of lead time, as the allocation can take several weeks to months.

In-person appointments are mainly required for biometric data capture (photo, fingerprints) and to collect the electronic residence permit (eAT). Many other matters are handled through the digital submission process, so you do not need to visit the office beforehand.

Yes. Since October 2024 the city has run a Servicestelle Arbeits- und Fachkräfte at Wicküler City on Bendahler Straße. It brings together the Ausländerbehörde's skilled-worker and employer services team with the labour-market integration team of the Kommunales Integrationszentrum under one roof. The centre is aimed at migrants interested in employment as well as businesses that employ or wish to hire international skilled workers.

Expect several weeks, and in individual cases potentially longer. The authority itself has publicly stated that it can no longer give a reliable waiting time. For renewals it is advisable to submit the application two to three months before your current permit expires.
