Welcome to the Office for Migration and Integration!

Our office was newly established in June 2022. It combines the Communal Integration Center (KI) and the specialized offices for the right of residence (formerly: Foreigners' Registration Office) . We take care of immigration, participation and integration legally and organizationally. At the same time, we want to help build coexistence.

This is how we work:

We want to enable people to stay in Münster. To this end, we use legal means and consider the possibilities in individual cases.

We advocate that the interests of all people are taken into serious consideration. We stand up for equal opportunities. To this end, we work together with the administration, citizens and various partners in networks.

In the section "Right of residence" you will find all the important information for your life in Germany. Do you need a residence title? Would you like to extend your residence permit? We will take care of your residence permit, toleration, permission or settlement permit. You can make an appointment here:
