Non-EU applicants must provide proof of adequate financial resources before moving to Germany.
To do this, you will have to open a blocked bank account during your visa application, which will serve as proof of funds. Once money is deposited, you cannot withdraw funds until you arrive in Germany (which is why it is called a ‘blocked’ account), and it is worth noting that there will be a monthly limit to how much you can withdraw.
Our Pathways team will help with your visa application and answer any questions you have on opening a blocked bank account.
