Student visa financial proof
Checked 2 Aug 2026For 2026, official student-visa guidance lists at least EUR 11,904 in a blocked account as one way to prove funds. A scholarship or declaration of commitment may also be accepted.
Confirm the amount and accepted proof with the German mission handling your case before transferring money.
Make it in Germany: visa for studying ↗uni-assist and VPD timing
Checked 2 Aug 2026uni-assist recommends applying at least eight weeks before a deadline where possible. A VPD usually takes four to six weeks, but current regional processing times can be longer.
For a VPD, you normally must still submit the VPD to the university before its own deadline.
uni-assist: deadlines and processing time ↗dMAT for selected master's applicants
Checked 2 Aug 2026APS India introduced dMAT for selected applicants whose previous degree is in listed engineering, commerce, finance, economics, business, or management fields, for summer 2027 and later intakes, subject to published transitional exemptions.
Use the official affected-fields list and transition rules; dMAT does not replace APS verification, anabin, or university admission review.
