Pros & Cons of a Blocked Account
Some Nepalese students wonder if they should actually opt for the blocked account - given the considerable amount they need to deposit. Here is why the pros strongly outbalance the cons:
Pros of a Blocked Account for Nepalese Students
Accepted by the German Federal Foreign Office & all German embassies worldwide
Best visa acceptance rate
100% online
Fast (opening in 10 mins)
Safe (deposit protection)
Makes your financial planning easy
Small fees
Cons of a Blocked Account for Nepalese Students
You need to have the full required amount upfront (currently โ‚ฌ 11,904 for 12 months)
The blocked account is by far the best proof of financial resources.
Alternatives to Blocked Accounts for Nepalese Students
The German Law defines four alternative proofs of financial resources:
A document of your parentโ€™s income and financial status
โš ๏ธ This proof leaves room for interpretation by the visa officer, which could negatively impact your visa chances.
A qualifying scholarship (e.g. DAAD, Adenauer Foundation)
โš ๏ธ Only specific types of scholarships are accepted as proof. Those scholarships are extremely competitive and have bureaucracy-heavy application procedures.
Verpflichtungserklรคrung (Declaration of commitment)
โš ๏ธ This document requires a (trustworthy) relative or friend in Germany and leaves room for interpretation to the visa officer - which could harm your visa chances.
A bank guarantee by a financial institution in Germany
โš ๏ธ This takes much longer than the blocked account and gives the visa officer a lot of room for interpretation, increasing the chances of the visa rejection.
All these alternatives have several downsides. With the blocked account, you can plan and have the best chances of applying.
