Are you able to send more than the blocked account?

You should not transfer more money than required. The total blocked amount already includes €100 buffer, all fees, and the additional basic sum if needed. If you are requested to deposit more than €800 each month by a visa authority, Expatrio needs an official document from them stating the request.

What is some information you should know as a volunteer?

Information for volunteers – The PROTRIP-WORLD insurance for volunteers adapts to your travel plans. You have the choice between different travel regions and you can also flexibly choose the scope of insurance: PROTRIP-WORLD always includes a strong international health insurance. We especially recommend volunteers to supplement their insurance cover with the Comfort or Plus Package to be able to travel and work without worries. The two packages differ in the scope of the liability insurance. The Plus Package includes a higher basic insurance sum and covers, for example, the risk of losing your keys and damages arising from an act of favor (e.g. at a garden party of another volunteer, you are asked to carry chairs from the flat into the garden, breaking the glass pane in the process).

Why can you only conclude EDUCARE24 at the age of 30+?

Students who are enrolled at state or state-recognized universities are subject to public insurance until their 30th birthday. From the 30th birthday, students can no longer insure themselves in the public student health insurance. In these cases, we recommend EDUCARE24 XL, our comprehensive cover consisting of travel health insurance, accident insurance, personal liability insurance and deportation costs insurance.

Is it common for your visa to be rejected the first time?

Even if you admitted all the right documents and you did research on the Visa you needed, Germany being a demanding country can ask for other documents. If that is the case, don’t be discouraged and try again!
