The country’s Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said on Thursday, August 7, that Germany will extend the control regime at its borders.
“We will continue to maintain border controls,” the minister said on the Table Today podcast.
Thus, even after September 2025, not only document checks will be carried out at the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany – some foreigners may be denied entry into the country, according to the AFP news agency.
According to Dobrindt, the FRG authorities also continue to work on the execution of decisions on the expulsion of persons who have no right to stay in Germany. In particular, new deportation flights to Syria and Afghanistan will be organized. “We have succeeded in organizing a flight to Afghanistan in which criminals who have committed the most serious acts were deported. This should not remain an isolated step,” emphasized the head of the Interior Ministry.
In July, the FRG authorities expelled to Afghanistan citizens of that country whose asylum applications had been rejected. This was done for the second time since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in 2021, AFP recalls. On board the deportation flight were 81 people who had committed “grave and serious crimes”. Before this, a similar flight was organized in August 2024.
