US EditionGermany to Make It Easier to Declare Countries Safe in Curbs on Asylum
- The German government plans to ease the process of designating safe countries of origin to reduce asylum seeker numbers as announced in June 2025.
- This policy emerges from Chancellor Merz's government, which pledged a migration crackdown after his February election win despite recent legal obstacles and opposition criticism.
- The reform removes the requirement for Bundesrat approval on safe country lists, aiming to speed up decisions and includes abolishing free appeal options for visa denials from July 1.
- Interior Minister Dobrindt described the plan as an “asylum turnaround,” while courts recently blocked border expulsions, highlighting legal challenges police face under new rules.
- If approved by the Bundestag, the changes will tighten asylum processes but may create legal complexities and costly judicial appeals for migrants and enforcement officers.
