Students from non-EU countries need to prove they have the financial resources to cover their living expenses while residing in Germany. As of 2022, this can require depositing into a German “blocked” account a minimum of €10,332 annually or €861 per month. This money isn’t freely accessible. Funds cannot be withdrawn until the person arrives in Germany. Then, once they arrive, it’s not possible to withdraw more than €861 per month—unless more than the monthly minimum is deposited.
