Blocked account or bank statement of amount EUR 1027*12 months is required to show to ensure your financial security and other expenses for your stay in Germany Proof of funds and proof of accommodation are separate mandatory criteria to meet
@@gargierawatt I just tried to show my 6-month bank statement from my home country bank, which has the equivalent of 15K Euro, but they did not accept it as proof.
I'm unsure if I fall under the first category if the German system recognizes my degree. Do I need to present my IELTS or A2 certificates in this category? Bcoz Point based Cat 2 only we need to show language Certificates. Please clear this doubt for me.
Hi Gargie, I hope you are doing well. I want to ask about degree recognition system. How to check fully recognised degree in the Anabin website. Actually when i search my university so it showing H+. And when i search my degree its aslo showing H+ , but when i open toggle option in degree checking menu, then my university is not showing under my specific degree program (software engineering). Other universities are showing for software engineering.
There are 2 options Option 1 fully recognised degree Option 2 point base system. My question is If i have a fully recognised degree , do I still need to have an English language test, like ielts. Or There is no need if i qualify under Option 1
EUR 75 is the visa fee. You would need to make a DD in INR equivalent to EUR 75 Please note that the mode of payment of the visa fees in Embassy and respective Consulates are as follows: - Consulate General of Chennai only by demand draft - Consulate General of Mumbai only by demand draft - Consulate General of Kolkata only by demand draft - Consulate General of Bangalore by demand draft and cash also possible - Embassy in New Delhi by demand draft and in cash

in that case please pray that your appointment comes after few months. As you do not want to go with Blocked account, so either you try to find yourself a part time job from India or ensure that the funds are in your account for morethan 3 months, visa officer if have doubts can even ask last 6 months bank statements but not longer than 6 months so A. make sure funds stay in your account for more than 3 months or B. start looking for part time jobs via linkedin/ Indeed/Stepstone , if you can secure a part time job you don't have to worry about funds that much 1-2 lakhs is enough Or C. If you know someone in Germany who can sponsor you
