You need to show a minimum of €11,904 for one year when applying for a Germany student visa. This covers living expenses at €992/month and is typically deposited into a blocked account (Sperrkonto) before your visa application.

After you arrive in Germany, you can withdraw €992 each month for your living costs. Tuition fees are not included in this amount and must be arranged separately.
