Suspension of Admissions to Integration Courses: What You Need to Know in 2026

Suspension of new admissions to integration courses by BAMF — have you already heard about this?

In February 2026, BAMF published an official letter (Trägerrundschreiben 02/26 vom 09.02.2026), which states:

“… im laufenden Haushaltsjahr bis auf Weiteres keinerlei Zulassungen für die Teilnahme an Integrationskurse nach § 44 Abs. 4 AufenthG erteilt werden können.”

The document further clarifies:

“Das bedeutet, dass insbesondere Asylbewerber, Geduldete (§ 60a Abs. 2 S. 3 AufenthG), Menschen aus der Ukraine sowie Unionsbürger nicht mehr im Rahmen verfügbarer Kursplätze zur Teilnahme am Integrationskurs zugelassen werden.”

At the same time, it is emphasized:

“Bereits erteilte Teilnahmezulassungen behalten ihre Gültigkeit.”

And also:

“Es ist möglich, dass die Träger anfragende Personen, die keine Zulassung erhalten können, als Selbstzahlende in die Kurse aufnehmen.”

Information status: 09.02.2026

What does this mean in practice?

• New Zulassungen are temporarily not being issued.
• Already issued admissions remain valid.
• Participation as a Selbstzahler is possible.

Important: this concerns the admission procedure for courses, not the cancellation of exams.

Exams A1, A2, B1 (DTZ, telc), and B2 continue to be held.
The requirements for certificates remain unchanged.

If you are planning to pay for your studies yourself…

…it is especially important to prepare in a structured way and without unnecessary loss of time.

That is why more and more people choose independent exam preparation in a convenient format — without waiting for a Zulassung, without being tied to a course schedule, and without stress.
