What is a Blocked Account?

A Blocked Account (Sperrkonto) is a special bank account required by German authorities to demonstrate that international students have enough funds to cover their living expenses while studying in Germany.

The required amount is deposited into the account before arriving in Germany and can be withdrawn only in limited monthly installments after arrival.
