On a globe that is continuously evolving, everything keeps on changing as well. To sustain in such an ever-changing world one where every minute there is a new discovery or a new change, it is very important for one to keep themselves updated. We may not be able to update you about all the events going on around the world but can things quite easy for those who aim to study abroad as this is the field we proudly stand in to help students make things easy.

So today, In this blog the recent changes that we will be discussing are the changes that occurred in Germany's study visa making matters even easier for the ones who looking forward to studying in Germany and the points that we will be covering in this field would be:

• Amount of BLOCKED ACCOUNT has been increased
• What is APS?
• Changes in Appointment categories

 

 

 

Blocked Account:

Before getting into the details about the changes in the blocked account let's understand the blocked account first. In every country student needs to prove that he has a sufficient amount of stay in a particular country. For this, some country asks to show funds in the form of savings, or FD. But in some countries like Germany it is asked to put the amount in the form of an FD in a German bank and after reaching Germany Students can withdraw a particular amount every month for their living. For a German study visa, the STUDENT needs to transfer his living expenses to a German bank and he can receive a fixed amount of instalment money every month. That is called a blocked account. Some of the blocked account names are Expatrio, Fintiba, Remitax etc. So From now on, the student needs to put 11903 Euro in the Blocked account out of which he can receive 992 per month for his living during his/her stay. In Indian currency, this amount would be INR______ approx. The best thing is that this can be a fresh fund.

What is an APS certificate?

Before knowing the different categories of Appointments, first, you need to know about APS CERTIFICATE. SO APS CERTIFICATE is an essential document for international students. It is issued by the APS Center. It provides the authenticity for the Indian academic documents. The full form of APS is the Academic Evaluation Center. It may take up to 1 month to 3 months. The processing fee is 18000 INR.

Changes in Appointment categories:

In Germany, Every student needs to book an appointment to submit a file to the embassy.  Previously, all students with APS CERTIFICATE needed to book an appointment for VFS Centers based on their Jurisdiction and students without APS needed to book appointments directly to the embassy for file submission. But with some amendments, now, Appointment Categories have been revised as follows:

• D-VISA with APS certificate/ German Degree: Students who have applied to Universities which will provide them German Degree will book an appointment for VFS CENTERS to submit their file.
• D- Student: Educational Facility Awarding Non-German Degree: Students who applied for universities in which degrees will be awarded from non-German institutions will have to book an Embassy appointment for direct submission of files.
