3 tracks · 1 Full Access
Four routing outcomes. Each maps a distinct residence path.
Conditions, not opinions
Based on the Aufenthaltsgesetz and current administrative thresholds.
Eligibility is not a yes-no question. It is a structural mapping — what conditions you meet, what conditions you don’t, and where the gaps are.
What qualifies you for each track? Recognition status, financial capacity, employment basis, family relation. Each track has its own anchor — the foundation a permit can rest on.
Where is your situation structurally exposed? Timeline gaps, threshold proximity, dependency chains, conditional admission. Risk markers do not block eligibility — but they shape which track is sustainable.
Based on your anchors and risk markers, one or more tracks fit. Single-track applicants route to that track. Multi-track or ambiguous situations route to Full Access for cross-track logic.
These are the questions every German residence application is structured around. Your answers to these five determine which track fits.
What's verified: APS (for India), ZAB or other equivalence frameworks. The first gate for most paths.
What's checked: which residence categories your situation can anchor on — Study, Work, Family, or transitions between them.
What's measured: blocked account, salary, household income — whichever applies to the candidate track.
What's required: A1 to B2 depending on track and timing — before entry, on entry, or during stay.
What's determined: whether your status rests on your own conditions or on a sponsor's permit. Decides between Family track and Study/Work tracks.
Four routing outcomes. Each track holds the structural conditions, the gates, and the failure modes for that path.
Single Track

Explore Full AccessEligibility on bay.in is structural mapping. To use it correctly, it helps to know what we explicitly do not provide.
Boundary 1
We document the conditions, thresholds, and trigger consequences as published in the Aufenthaltsgesetz. We do not give individual legal opinions or represent applicants in administrative procedures.
Boundary 2
We do not review individual cases, file applications, or interpret personal documents. Eligibility on bay.in is a self-mapping tool against published criteria — not a case service.
Boundary 3
Meeting structural conditions does not guarantee a permit. Discretion, processing variability, and case-specific factors remain with the German authority. We provide structure — not outcome.
Common questions about how Eligibility on bay.in works and what to do with the result.
There is no automated form. Routing is structural: the five anchor questions guide you through the conditions, and the Track Cards above show which track fits which situation. You read, you map, you decide.
If your situation is single-track and clearly anchored — for example, you have a job offer and need a Work permit — you can go directly to that track page. Eligibility is for cases where the path is ambiguous, multi-track, or expected to shift.
That is exactly the case Full Access is built for. Cross-track logic, transition guides, and a comparative matrix across all three tracks. A single track purchase covers only one path — if your situation crosses tracks, Full Access is structurally correct.
No. There is no eligibility form, no tracker, no account requirement on this page. You read the conditions and route yourself. Account creation only happens at purchase, on a track page or via Pricing.
