What is a blocked account?

Of course, there are various forms of blocked accounts. In this section we provide information about the blocked account you probably need if you want to study in Germany and if your home country does not belong to the European Union or the “Schengen states”. Among others, this applies to:

• • Turkey
  • China
  • India

• Russia
• Ukraine
• Cameroon
• Vietnam
• South Corea
• Morocco

In these and many other countries you need to prove your ability to support yourself during your stay in Germany when applying for a visa. The most common method to fulfill this requirement is opening a German blocked account. Please contact the responsible embassy or consulate general if you want to find out whether you need a blocked account for your visa.

Can your EDUCARE24 insurance cover the expenses that you cannot cancel?

No, travel expenses are not covered by the international health insurance. We recommend: Contact your hotel or airline to clarify whether a goodwill arrangement (rebooking or cancellation) is possible.

What is the purpose of the blocked account?

With a German blocked account you can prove your ability to support yourself during your stay in Germany. The account will be blocked until you arrive in Germany. Once you have access to the account, a restriction applies: There is a limitation on the amount that can be withdrawn or transferred per month. In general, you need to deposit €800 for each month you plan to spend in Germany. This means you have to deposit a sum of €10,000 if you want to spend one year in Germany. Including fees and a safety buffer of €100, you will usually need to transfer €10,445 for your blocked account in case of a 12 months’ stay in Germany. However, you do not have to worry about these details now. All relevant questions will be clarified during the online opening of your new blocked account.

What is the number of tourists that Germany had over the past few years?

Germany is one of the most visited countries in the world. With around 450 million tourists going there for many reasons. A lot of them come from non-EU countries, even outside Europe to see this beautiful and exciting place.

What can you do when you find out the embassy rejected your visa?

The German embassy will send you a letter to let you know why your Visa got rejected. When you get the letter, make sure you write down all the reasons of rejection and then make an appeal!

Will you be covered if you are infected on your way home?

Upon arrival to your home country, both EDUCARE24 and Techniker Krankenkasse (TK) insurance coverage ends. Please contact your last insurance company in your home country to reactivate it immediately.
