Germany is increasingly becoming one of the top study destinations for Pakistani students thanks to its world-class education, affordable tuition, and high quality of life. If you're planning to study in Germany in 2025 or 2026, understanding the blocked account system is essential. This financial requirement ensures that international students have enough funds to support themselves during their stay.
In this blog, we'll explain everything you need to know about the Germany blocked account from Pakistan, how much money is required in 2025/2026, and how X Consultancy can help you get there confidently.
What Is a Blocked Account for Germany?
A blocked account (Sperrkonto) is a special type of bank account required for international students applying for a German study visa. It is a financial proof that guarantees you have enough funds to live in Germany without government assistance.
The German embassy in Pakistan mandates that all student visa applicants must open and deposit funds in a blocked account before applying for the visa.
How Much Money Is Required in 2025/2026?
As of recent updates, the estimated minimum amount required in a blocked account is:
- €11,904 per year (subject to change in 2025/2026).
- €992 per month is released from the account to cover living costs.
Estimated in PKR (Pakistani Rupees):
At an approximate rate of €1 = PKR 310 (subject to fluctuations):
- Total Blocked Amount: ~PKR 3,690,240
- Monthly Disbursement: ~PKR 307,520
Please note: These values can vary depending on the exchange rate and any new policy updates from German authorities or financial providers like Coracle, Fintiba, or Expatrio.

- Bachelor's or Master's programs at German universities
