Blocked Account Support

Getting your Sperrkonto right the first time

A blocked account (Sperrkonto) is a mandatory bank account that proves to the German embassy you can fund your stay. Get the amount or paperwork wrong and it can stall your entire visa application — so we treat this as one of the most detail-sensitive parts of the process.

As of 2024, you need to deposit €11,208 annually, released to you monthly (€934/month) once you’re in Germany. We guide you through opening it with recommended providers like Fintiba or Expatrio, and make sure the confirmation documents match exactly what your embassy expects.

1. Provider Selection

   Comparing trusted blocked-account providers (Fintiba, Expatrio, and others) so you pick the one that suits you.

2. Correct Deposit Amount

   Confirming the current required annual deposit so your visa application isn’t delayed over a shortfall.

3. Monthly Release Setup

   Making sure your monthly release amount is set up correctly before you land in Germany.
