toleration
The tolerating or putting up with something that one actually considers negative or undesirable.

tolerated stay
In immigration law, the temporary suspension of the deportation of a person who is required to leave the country, but which does not constitute legal residence status.
Er lebt seit mehreren Jahren mit einer Duldung in Deutschland, da eine Abschiebung in sein Heimatland nicht möglich ist.
He has been living in Germany for several years with a tolerated stay, since deportation to his home country is not possible.
'Die Duldung' (toleration/tolerated stay) is the noun related to the verb 'dulden' (to tolerate). When you tolerate something unwanted, you are practicing 'Duldung' (toleration).
Er musste den Lärm seiner Nachbarn dulden.
He had to tolerate the noise from his neighbors.
The meaning in the context of immigration law is a specific term from administrative language. In everyday life, you are more likely to encounter the general meaning 'Tolerierung' (toleration).
Für den Antrag muss er sein Dokument über die Duldung vorlegen.
For the application, he has to present his document about the tolerated stay.
You can recognize the legal meaning from surrounding words such as 'Abschiebung' (deportation), 'Ausländerbehörde' (immigration authority), 'Aufenthalt' (residence/stay), or 'Asyl' (asylum). Without this context, the general meaning is usually intended.
Die Ausländerbehörde hat seine Duldung um weitere sechs Monate verlängert.
The immigration authority extended his tolerated stay by another six months.
In the legal sense, a 'Duldung' (tolerated stay) is not a legal residence title and not permission to live in Germany. It merely certifies that deportation is temporarily not possible for certain reasons.
Obwohl er eine Duldung hat, ist sein Aufenthaltsstatus weiterhin unsicher.
Although he has a tolerated stay, his residence status remains uncertain.
tolerance
Toleranz and Duldung can refer to something undesirable that is not ended immediately. Toleranz describes more of a respectful attitude or willingness, whereas Duldung refers to actually allowing something to continue. Use “Toleranz” for the attitude and “Duldung” when the behavior is in fact tolerated.
Seine Duldung der lauten Musik endete nach einer Woche.
His toleration of the loud music ended after a week.
Seine Toleranz gegenüber der lauten Musik war trotz seines Ärgers bemerkenswert.
His tolerance of the loud music was remarkable despite his irritation.
