What is the purpose of a blocked account?

With a German blocked account you can prove your ability to support yourself during your stay in Germany. The account will be blocked until you arrive in Germany. Once you have access to the account, a restriction applies: There is a limitation on the amount that can be withdrawn or transferred per month.

In general, you need to deposit €853 for each month you plan to spend in Germany. This means you have to deposit a sum of €10,236 if you want to spend one year in Germany. Including fees and a safety buffer of €100, you will usually need to transfer €10,445 for your blocked account in case of a 12 months' stay in Germany. However, you do not have to worry about these details now. All relevant questions will be clarified during the online opening of your new blocked account.
