Once you have access to the account, a restriction applies: There is a limitation on the amount that can be withdrawn or transferred per month unless you have paid in more than the demanded minimum blocked amount. In the latter case, higher monthly withdrawals can be agreed. In general, you need to deposit €800 for each month you plan to spend in Germany.
