A blocked account (Sperrkonto) is a special type of bank account that
- requires you to initially deposit a big sum that will cover your spending for half or a whole year.
- then allows you to withdraw every month a part of it (1/6 or 1/12).
That way, you prove that you have enough funds to sustain yourself while living and studying in Germany.
You need a blocked account if you apply
- for a study visa
- for a residence permit as a student (if you come from a country that allows you to enter Germany without a visa)
- for a jobseeker visa
Offers
You can open a blocked account online. Some services also offer packages together with health insurance and a regular bank account.
