Secure your finances in Germany hassle free

What is a blocked account?

A blocked account is a special account where the required funds are deposited in advance. The money is not available all at once; instead, a fixed monthly amount is released after the student arrives in Germany. This system helps German authorities confirm that the student can support themselves financially.

Why is it important?

The blocked account is one of the most common and accepted ways to prove financial means for a German student visa. Without it, many students cannot complete their visa application.

Who can open it?

  • Students under 18 must have the account opened by a parent.

  • Students aged 18 and above can open the account themselves.

  • In both cases, the student must eventually have full access to the account.
