Is the block account amount only for one year or for the entire duration of study in Ireland/Germany?

The blocked account amount is typically required for one year of living expenses, not the entire duration of your studies. For later years, you may need to show proof of funds again, depending on the country’s visa rules.
- Germany: The blocked account covers one year (currently €11,904 for 2026 intake; subject to change).
- Other countries (Ireland, Singapore, Malaysia, Italy): Proof of funds is usually needed for the first year, with amounts varying by country and subject to change.
