Asylum procedure, refusal and obligation to leave the country 
If your application for asylum has been rejected by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), you will receive a written decision from the BAMF. In the decision, the BAMF also states that you are now obliged to leave the country.

Basic information
If the BAMF has rejected your asylum application, the BAMF will also state in the decision you receive by post that you are now obliged to leave the country.
If you have any questions or objections to the BAMF's decision, you must contact the BAMF directly. The contact details for this can be found on the decision you received from the BAMF, as well as the information on legal remedies, which explains how you can appeal against the decision if you do not agree with it (see under "Further information").
The Migration Office will also be informed of the BAMF's decision. If you have not lodged an appeal or the court has definitively rejected your appeal and you have not yet left the country, the Migration Office must enforce your obligation to leave the country.

Procedure
If the BAMF has definitively rejected your asylum application and you have not yet left Germany, you will receive a letter from the Migration Office in which you will be given another deadline to leave the country. You will also receive the contact details of an advice center that can help you leave the country (see "Further information").
If you then do not leave Germany yourself, the Migration Office must enforce your obligation to leave by deporting you.
You will not be notified of the date for this. You will then be deported from Germany accompanied by the police.

The return counseling service can not only advise you on leaving Germany, but also support you financially. If you have to be deported from Germany, you have to bear the costs of the deportation yourself.

Deadlines & processing time
What deadlines must be paid attention to?
The deadlines for appealing the BAMF's decision are mandatory: i.e. you must comply with them if you want to object to the BAMF's decision.
If you do not comply with the deadlines to leave the country, your obligation to leave the country will be enforced by means of deportation. -
