How does a Blocked Account actually work?
You need to deposit a specific amount as required by law into the Blocked Account. Currently, €853 have to be paid into the account for each month you stay in Germany. If you are requested to deposit more than €800 each month by a visa authority, you will need an official document from them stating the request in order to deposit the money. The deposited amount will remain blocked until you arrive in Germany. Another peculiarity of a Blocked Account is that you can only withdraw or transfer a limited amount of money. You may withdraw a maximum of €800 per month unless you have deposited a higher amount.Which is the most experienced company when it comes to German Blocked Accounts?
