Fi­nanc­ing your stay

The question "How do I finance my studies?" is an important and sometimes crucial one. At times, financing your studies can be a considerable challenge.

Especially for international students from a third country there are only limited possibilities to finance their studies in Germany. Therefore, we advise you to do an in-depth research for your own financing and you can start with the information we have summarized below.

In order for you to prepare your stay, we have listed the expected living costs on our website.

 

Financing your stay in Germany

Below you can find information about the most common financing options for international students. In particular, the information for the blocked account, the scholarship or the letter of sponsorship is relevant, as these are the three accepted financial proofs for the initial granting of a residence title.

Please note: As of September 2024, the annual standard requirement that must be presented when applying for a student visa and the extension of the residence title for Germany is 11,904 euros or 992 euros per month.
