IOM Germany is providing additional support to UK Nationals who may find it harder to complete all their residency applications to secure and maintain their residency rights in Germany now that the United Kingdom has left the EU. Through the UK Nationals Support Fund (UKNSF), IOM seeks to assist those living in Germany in settling their residence status by offering various forms of support for 12 of Germany’s Federal States. The project is aimed at UK nationals who may be particularly at risk or facing specific challenges, such as people living with disabilities, those grappling with chronic illness, language and literacy barriers, or barriers in accessing technology. IOM addresses UK Nationals' different needs from awareness raising to practical guidance on application procedures. Within the framework of the project, IOM can support people in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia. In this context the advice and input of the legal volunteer will strengthen the guidance and support provided to UKNs.
