A plane leased by the German government, carrying 138 Afghan nationals, was awarded the entry fee for Germany and landed in the eastern city of Leipzig on Wednesday night.
A spokesman for the German Foreign Ministry said all individuals received legally binding admissions.
The plane took off from Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.
The Ministry of Home Affairs said 45 passengers were children and young people, 76 were women, and 62 were men.
The group will be taken to a camp in central Germany and then distributed in the federal state in two weeks.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Home Affairs said the people had been awarded admissions in Germany before and would not issue any new grants. They also stress that everyone will undergo a thorough inspection before being allowed to enter.
Earlier this year, three similar flights brought 461 people from Afghanistan to Germany, arriving in Berlin and Hannover.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, about 2,600 vulnerable groups from Afghanistan are currently waiting to be accepted by Germany.
They include former staff members of the former German agency and their relatives, as well as Afghans facing Taliban persecution, who have previously campaigned for human rights as lawyers or journalists.
Germany’s next government plan to terminate the admissions program and said in its newly released alliance agreement: “We will terminate voluntary federal admissions programs (such as Afghanistan) as much as possible without launching any new programs.”
Afghans who are still waiting to leave Islamabad may soon be under great pressure as Pakistan began a new deportation of Afghan refugees in early April and planned to deport three million Afghans for a long time.
Pakistan’s Interior Minister Talal Chaudry recently announced that deportation will also affect Afghans who are waiting for Western countries in Pakistan starting in May.
Afghans waiting in Islamabad have reported on increasingly difficult conditions. They say families often have to spend months in hotels, sometimes more than a year, while renewing their visas every month.
To pay high visa fees, many people receive loans from relatives or sell property in their home country, which will put them in poverty if their asylum application is denied.
In response to a question about Afghans who were awarded to Germany, a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry said: “We are in close coordination and engagement with the Pakistani authorities and are committed to helping binding people.”
