How do you use a blocked account (like Fintiba) for a Germany visa?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 99 views

Using a blocked account (Sperrkonto) is a common way to prove your financial capability for Germany student visa applications. You open one of these accounts, often through providers like Fintiba, and deposit a specific amount of money that covers your cost of living in Germany. This money then becomes available for you to withdraw monthly throughout your visa period, and it's a crucial part of your visa application. Make sure to confirm the current blocked account amount and its specific conditions with the consulate or other official sources.
