Traveling to France and reentering Germany under a Schengen visa if I have a Fiktionsbescheinigung

score:2

Accepted answer

I have a Brazilian passport, thus in general I do not need to apply to Schengen visas beforehand,...

A Fiktionsbescheinigung is not valid for travel to other Schengen Countries when it contains the text Gilt nicht fΓΌr Auslandsreisen (Not valid for for trips abroad).

This will not be the case for persons who do not require a Schengen Visa to enter the Schengen Area.

would I be able to enter France/reenter Germany as a tourist?

Yes, if the Fiktionsbescheinigung does not contain the Gilt nicht fΓΌr Auslandsreisen text, which should be the case since Brazil is listed in Annex II and therefore no Schengen Visa is required

  • check this when you receive the Fiktionsbescheinigung!

what would happen in case no one checks my passport and issues me a tourism visa at the French border, but I later get checked when reentering Germany?

(I assume with tourism visa you mean entry stamp)

An entry stamp is only given at the external Schengen Area borders (the French/German border is an internal Schengen Area border).

A residence permit card/D-Visa/valid Fiktionsbescheinigung will explain the reason why you have no current entry stamp should you be checked at some point and allows you to return to Germany.


See my answer that quotes the relevant portion of General Administrative Provisions for the Residence Act section 81.3.6 (page 335) that list the cases where such a text should not be placed in the Fiktionsbescheinigung:

There you will find:

Article 1 Paragraph 2 of Regulation (EC) Number 539/2001

Nationals of third countries on the list in Annex II shall be exempt from the requirement set out in paragraph 1 for stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period.

listed in the exceptions.
