Hi everyone! I’m an international student in Bonn and I applied for my student residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis) back in February/March, but I still haven’t received an appointment or any response.

I’ve heard that people sometimes go to the Ausländeramt very early in the morning to queue for a Fiktionsbescheinigung.

Has anyone recently managed to get a Fiktionsbescheinigung in Bonn by going in person?

If so, could you please tell me:

• Where exactly do you go to queue?
• What time did you arrive?
• Is there anything specific I should bring?

I’d really appreciate any recent experiences, especially from people who have done this in the last few months. Thank you!
