How to open a blocked account ?

Source: DB

Apply for the blocked account well in advance (i.e.,once you start applying for the universities), if you wait till you receive an admission, then it would be some times very delayed to receive your account details because of the huge number of application flowing in just before the beginning of the semester. 

Required documents:

• Electronically filled and printed application form (2 copies), The form should be signed in the presence of consulate official.
• Passport original and 2 Xerox copies
• Admission letter if available (*not mandatory),

if you provide your admission letter then your account will be opened directly in the university city, or else it will be processed with the head office. Once you reach Germany you can go to the nearest Deutsche bank to transfer your account to that branch. It will be done free of cost and in a period of one week.

Procedure 1 

The Deutsche bank blocked account application form is a editable PDF, fill it completely on any PDF readable device and print it out. Make this document attested by the German consulate (appointment is required, contact nearest German embassy)  and post it to the bank address (in Germany) mentioned in the document. Within four weeks you will receive an email with your bank account details. This document should be submitted during the visa interview.

Note: It is not compulsory to transfer the amount to your account before going to the visa interview. After receiving the visa conformation you can deposit the money. (this will no way hamper your chances of getting the visa)

Once after depositing the required amount (8040 euros)  into your account, you will receive a auto generated statement through email. This document is required for getting the visa stamped.
