Residency Permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis = AE)

A residency permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis) will be issued if the submitted asylum application is approved. This usually happens in conjunction with the issuance of a work permit.

There are other options to obtain a residency permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis), for instance based on family-related or humanitarian grounds.
