When starting educational life in Germany, not only school and visa procedures, but also financial and official arrangements are of great importance. Health insurance, blocked account, and bank account opening are the basic building blocks of student life in Germany. As CampusGerman, we offer guidance and one-on-one support to our students in these processes.

Why Is Health Insurance Mandatory in Germany?

Valid health insurance is mandatory for all students who will study in Germany. Without health insurance:

  • University registration cannot be done
  • Visa and residence procedures cannot be completed
  • Transactions cannot be carried out at official institutions

CampusGerman provides information about health insurance options suitable for students’ situations and ensures they make the right choice.

Health Insurance Options

There are generally two types of health insurance for students in Germany:

  • Public (statutory) health insurance
  • Private health insurance

Which insurance is appropriate may vary depending on the student’s age, education status, and plans. CampusGerman evaluates each student’s situation and directs them to the most appropriate option.

What Is a Blocked Account?

A blocked account is an official account used for students who will study in Germany to prove they have financial capacity to cover their living expenses. A certain amount is blocked in this account and the student can withdraw money from this account monthly after arriving in Germany.

A blocked account is one of the most requested documents in visa applications.

How to Open a Blocked Account

Opening a blocked account is one of the procedures that must be done before coming to Germany. The process generally consists of these steps:

  • Determining the appropriate blocked account provider
  • Preparing the necessary documents
  • Completing the online application process
  • Depositing the blocked amount into the account

CampusGerman helps students complete this process correctly and quickly.

Bank Account Opening Process

After arriving in Germany, students need to open a bank account in Germany to carry out their daily transactions. With a bank account:

  • Rent and bill payments are made
  • Payments from the blocked account are used
  • Daily expenses become easier

CampusGerman informs students about necessary documents and appointments in the bank account opening process.

Necessary Documents

The following documents are generally requested for health insurance, blocked account, and bank account transactions:

  • Passport
  • Student acceptance letter or course registration certificate
  • Address registration certificate (Anmeldung)
  • Necessary application forms

Preparing documents completely ensures smooth progress of the process.
