Studying abroad is an individual’s dream, As an international student coming to Germany for higher studies, it is mandatory for you to prove that you have enough financial resources to support costs arising for the duration of your planned stay in Germany. There are some ways to prove these and out of them ‘opening a blocked account’ is the most popular one. Most of the banks allow you to apply online for obtaining a blocked account. Before you start applying for the block account, please gather all the supporting documents you might need to scan and send to the bank authorities. Usually a checklist is provided for such supporting documents. It is mandatory to get the necessary documents certified by a competent authority like the German Consulate or the German Embassy in your home country. These authorities will then confirm the authenticity of your documents to the bank.
In the next steps, the bank will open the blocked account and send you the account details (IBAN and BIC numbers). Once the money is transferred from your end, you will have fulfilled the financial requirement to apply for the student visa in Germany.
