What is a blocked account (Sperrkonto) for a German student visa, and how does it work?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 36 views

A blocked account (Sperrkonto) is a financial proof required from non-EU students who want to get a student visa to study in Germany. The money deposited into this account can be withdrawn in fixed monthly amounts to cover your cost of living in Germany. You might need to renew the funds in the account each year; it's crucial to verify the current required amount from official sources.
