Audit report for the immigration office
The immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) has requested an audit report (Prüfungsbericht) from you? This is common when you or your spouse is self-employed and must demonstrate financial viability. Learn more here about audit reports and how Thema-erledigt.de can support you.
Background
An audit report serves as proof to the immigration office that your self-employment generates enough income to secure your livelihood and, if applicable, that of your family. It should be prepared by a qualified professional such as a tax advisor, auditor or tax law specialist. A self-written report is usually not accepted.
Authorities typically request such a report in the following situations:
- Issuance or extension of a residence permit (Aufenthaltstitel)
- Issuance of a permanent settlement permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis)
- Family reunification when the livelihood of spouse or children must be secured (Familienzusammenführung)
- Granting of citizenship (Einbürgerung)
The report usually includes information on revenue, profit, ongoing costs and private living expenses. It is based on current tax records, business evaluations or income-expense statements.
