How much is the blocked account in 2026?

According to YourWeg, the standard amount is €11,904 for 12 months (€992/month). Older €11,208 figures are outdated.

Does Munich require a higher blocked account?

No. The visa blocked amount is set nationally. Higher Munich rent comes from your own extra funds or a cheaper city — not a higher Sperrkonto.

Expatrio, Fintiba, or Coracle?

Expatrio and Fintiba accept new applications in 2026. Coracle paused new sign-ups in August 2025. Compare fees on the provider page, then confirm on their sites.
