Everything you need to know about setting up a blocked account for your student visa in Germany.
A Blocked Account (Sperrkonto) is a special type of bank account for international students in Germany. It serves as proof of financial resources for your visa application. As of the latest regulations, you need to deposit a specific amount (currently around €11,208 for one year) to prove you can support yourself. You are allowed to withdraw a maximum of 1/12th of this amount every month. Popular providers include Fintiba, Coracle, and Expatrio. The process is entirely online and usually takes just a few days. We recommend setting it up as soon as you receive your university admission letter.
