Every international student needs the same three things to study at this university: an offer letter, a blocked account, and health insurance. Here's the honest order.
💳 Open a blocked account
German embassies require proof you have ~€11,904 for one year. A blocked account (Sperrkonto) is the standard way to show this.
Expatrio
Berlin-based fintech designed for international students — quick, English-friendly, popular bundle option.
Fintiba

🩺 Health insurance
You need pre-arrival travel + health insurance for your visa appointment. Once you arrive and enrol, switch to public insurance (TK / DAK) if you are under 30.
DR-WALTER Educare24
Most international students applying via Expatrio — comes bundled with the blocked account.
Mawista Student
Students using Fintiba, or those who want standalone visa insurance without bundling.
📋 Student visa process
With your offer letter, blocked account, and insurance in hand, you're ready to apply for the student visa at your German embassy. Plan 4–12 weeks for the visa decision.
