I am contacting you on behalf of my parents
Mr Mohammad having Afghanistan Passport
Mrs Fatemeh having Afghanistan Passport
They want to get help about the possibility of applying for German citizenship.
They are living in Essen and have been living in Germany since 2017.
After applying for asylum they have been given 1 year residence permit followed by a two year permit and since then each two years they extend their permit. a residence permit was granted according to §25 AufenthG
Because of their age they both do not work and just going to Language course A1.My father is retired and gets retirement helps and my mother gets payments from job center.
I am wondering are they eligible to apply for citizenship or permanent residence due to their age? if so, how is the process and where should they apply?
My father has AOK insurance and my mother has KKH insurance.
Any help and guidance will be much appreciated

Dear mahdidasht, thank you for the information. I have found an advisor in Essen that can speak Persian. I have forwarded you the contact and more information via the private chat.
If you let me know the availability of you parents I can continue with arranging an appointment for them. Otherwise, they can also call the number that I forwarded and make an appointment themselves
Please keep me updated, I am happy to answer any follow up questions.
Best wishes
Dear Yara
Thanks for your help. I have advised my parents to go directly to the office address which you have kindly provided. It is better for them to attend during the open consulting session.
Thanks so much for your help.
Dear mahdidasht, great, please let me know how the consultation went. Here is the website of the advice center: https://www.planb-ruhr.de/index.php/migration-integration/essen/migrati…
