More people were deported from Germany last year than in 2023. Through November, 18,384 migrants were repatriated. The most common country of origin was Turkey.
Last year, 1,720 Turkish citizens had to leave Germany because they were deported. Georgia was the second country of origin and Syria the third country. In addition, many people were deported to Afghanistan, North Macedonia, Albania, Serbia and Iraq.
However, some were not taken to their country of origin, but to other EU states that were responsible for their asylum applications under the so-called Dublin rules. This was especially true for people from Syria and Afghanistan.
Georgia has been a safe country of origin since the end of 2023
Georgia was designated as a safe country of origin at the end of 2023. This means that there is generally no persecution or inhuman or degrading treatment. If the country of origin is classified in this way, an asylum application can easily be rejected.
Moreover, an asylum application does not have a suspensive effect. Deportees from so-called safe countries of origin can file a lawsuit, but they must wait for the outcome of the procedure abroad. Since March 2017, Georgian citizens have been allowed to travel to Germany for a short stay without a visa.
Since August 2021, the Islamist Taliban have returned to power in Afghanistan. They have been criticized internationally for, among other things, their crackdown on human rights activists and for the restriction of women’s rights.
