If you apply to extend an existing residence title before it expires, the previous title generally continues to be valid until the immigration authority decides. A Fiktionsbescheinigung documents this legal effect. Travel, re-entry and work rights depend on the legal basis and conditions shown on the certificate. Check them before leaving Germany.
