right to stay
The legal permission for a foreign person to stay in a country for a certain period of time or permanently.
Nach einem langen Verfahren erhielt die Familie endlich ein dauerhaftes Bleiberecht in Deutschland.
After a long process, the family finally received a permanent right to stay in Germany.
The word is a clear compound made up of the verb 'bleiben' (to stay) and the noun 'das Recht' (the right). So it literally means 'the right to stay'.
Ohne ein gültiges Bleiberecht muss er das Land verlassen.
Without a valid right to stay, he must leave the country.
Since it is a legal term, 'Bleiberecht' (right to stay) is often used with verbs from administrative contexts: 'ein Bleiberecht beantragen' (to apply for a right to stay), 'ein Bleiberecht erhalten/bekommen' (to receive/get a right to stay), 'ein Bleiberecht gewähren' (to grant a right to stay), or 'ein Bleiberecht haben' (to have a right to stay).
Sie hat nach vielen Jahren endlich ein unbefristetes Bleiberecht bekommen.
After many years, she finally got an unlimited right to stay.
'Bleiberecht' (right to stay) is a technical term from immigration and asylum law. It is used in formal and official contexts when referring to people's legal residence status.
Im Gesetz sind die Bedingungen für ein humanitäres Bleiberecht genau festgelegt.
The conditions for a humanitarian right to stay are precisely defined in the law.
right of asylum
Both terms refer to the possibility of staying in another country. Das Asylrecht means protection and the right to stay because of political persecution, while das Bleiberecht more generally means legal permission to stay. When political protection is the reason, Asylrecht is more precise; when the issue is simply staying in the country, Bleiberecht is appropriate.
Nach mehreren Jahren im Land erhielt die Familie ein dauerhaftes Bleiberecht.
After living in the country for several years, the family received a permanent right to stay.
Für Menschen, die wegen politischer Verfolgung fliehen, ist das Asylrecht besonders wichtig.
The right to asylum is especially important for people fleeing political persecution.
