The minimum bank balance required for a Germany student visa isn’t shown as a direct balance in your account. Instead, you need to deposit funds into a special blocked bank account in Germany. As of February 2024, the minimum amount required for this blocked account is €11,208. This amount is essentially locked for one year and you can only withdraw a maximum of €934 per month. This system is designed to show you have enough funds to support yourself for your first year of studies in Germany.
