Once you create an account with Fintiba , they will give you a German bank account where you will transfer the money to, from your Ethiopian bank account
@@MkenyaInDeutschland I already create German bank account but I can't transfer Ethiopia Birr using our local bank transfer (Local Visa Card), but t think Fintiba account can receive ETB. I can't get support.
Please can someone who's living in different European country(Belgium, France and others) use his bank statement to cover you as an alternative to block account
My dad is trying to open a Block Account for me, but since I’m not currently in Germany, I’m wondering if it’s possible for him to open it in his name Please help me to understand.
Hi Your dad can help in the process of opening a blocked account, like filling out the forms and transferring the money, but everything has to be under your name because you’re the student. This is because all the documentation that will be required for your student Visa, including the blocked account documents will need to all be under the same name. So the name on your passport should match the name on your academic certificates and should match the name on your blocked account documents.
When you open the blocked account, you will be able to see the balance in that blocked account after you login to your portal. So anyone who has your login credentials can view their money on the portal Once the blocked account is opened and the money is deposited the only way to have access to that money is when you come to Germany and open a current account in a German bank, then link your new bank account to your blocked account and then you will start receiving equal monthly payments to your new account
Hi If you get the fintiba package that includes health insurance, you will be required to pay health insurance fees every month depending on whether you get public or private health insurance I used fintiba and if you are interested, I have a referral code, if you register using it you get €15 The code is: 1IANMWANGI61
can i deposit more than the amount they request?. In one document, fintiba says that do not pay more than €11300 something (the mentioned amount) if we pay more than that we must submit additional documents about the fund. but in other document they say we can deposit up to €13000. please reply me sir!
Do i need to pay all the block account amount at one time? can i send the half amount from Germany, other half from my home country? will there be any inquires in embassy interview about that?
You have to deposit the full amount into the blocked account before being issued with blocking confirmation documents. You can’t get a visa without these documents
@@MkenyaInDeutschlandokay but before the visa process, can i deposit the block amount as installment. or do i need to send all the money at one time? i have my relatives in germany, they'll send the particular amount direct from germany, ill send the balance amount from srilanka
Hello i want to apply for the chancekarte and the block account is required too. My question is if i am not given the visa, am i going to easily cancel the blocked account and get my all funds. Thanks
Thanks for the video. How long did it take you to complete the process for opening the blocked account- from transferring the money to getting confirmation?
Opening the account took about 4 days from the day I applied, transferring the money took 4 days to get confirmation that it has reached. I used fintiba and if you are interested, I have a referral code, if you register using it you get €15 The code is: 1IANMWANGI61
Hi For the first year you’ll be expected to open a new blocked account with the €11k but for the second year as long as you have a part-time job in most cities you don’t need to open another blocked account. You just need to have a minimum balance of €5000 in your bank account when you’re going to extend your permit But be aware that different cities or towns have different policies. Some of my friends who study in rural areas are usually asked for a second blocked account but most students in major cities are just asked for their €5000 balance
@MkenyaInDeutschland okay thank you for a swift reply and I must say...your videos are the best....clear explanation with clear speaker output....Good job
That is awesome! Willkommen in Deutschland Im sure you will enjoy. lucky for you some of the videos I’m going to upload from tomorrow will be useful for those coming to Germany, so I hope you have subscribed so that you don’t miss them
in the University enrollment process, university says that the digital insurance notification will not received yet. how to send that, please explain me brother, can i get your number to ask more about this?
hi, i love how clear your content and information is. could you clarify if someone is allowed to work 20 hours a week on language visa? im getting conflicting information with the latest one saying some laws were changed and it is now allowed.
Hi Thanks for the positive feedback Yeah, they did change the law recently and you can work for 20 hours while on a language visa But it’s also important to note what the rules of the state you are living in say. Different states may interpret the law differently, so before someone begins to work, it’s good to get advice from the local authorities.

Where do FSJ applicants apply for the blocked account??
Thank you for the wonderful feedback
I thought since fsj is about volunteering, I thought you don't need a blocked account?
Sir in fintiba, i could not find the "upload university admission letter" and "facial photo"
what would i do
please reply as soon as possible
Hey
Usually there’s a section of the portal for uploading documents, maybe you can email me a screenshot?
@@MkenyaInDeutschland okay
How to transfer from Ethiopia Bank account to Fintiba + blocked account ?

No, you still need to open a blocked account if you want the German student visa
My dad is trying to open a Block Account for me, but since I’m not currently in Germany, I’m wondering if it’s possible for him to open it in his name Please help me to understand.

If someone opens it for me, will that person still not have access to the account Please really want to know?

Hi. pls, does the applicant pay any additional fee for health insurance using Fintiba excluding the 89euro u mentioned in the video.

You should pay the exact amount given by fintiba, that’s the amount required for the blocked account, no need to send extra money
Do i need to pay all the block account amount at one time?
can i send the half amount from Germany, other half from my home country?
will there be any inquires in embassy interview about that?

You can’t get a visa without these documents
@@MkenyaInDeutschlandokay but before the visa process, can i deposit the block amount as installment.
or do i need to send all the money at one time?
i have my relatives in germany,
they'll send the particular amount direct from germany,
ill send the balance amount from srilanka
@@oryctoculuz9851 usually they ask for only one full payment, they don’t allow multiple payments
@@MkenyaInDeutschlandok thank you
Is it possible to start working immediately after reaching Germany as a student?
Yeah, once you are able to apply for and land a job, you can start working.
Hello i want to apply for the chancekarte and the block account is required too. My question is if i am not given the visa, am i going to easily cancel the blocked account and get my all funds. Thanks
Hello
Yes you will be refunded, but the refund process could take a bit of time to process.
@@MkenyaInDeutschland minimum how long does it take in case of visa refusal
@@AbdoulAzizDiallo-r9w I think once you submit the refusal letter from the embassy, it should take maybe a month…. But I’m not sure
@@MkenyaInDeutschland one month waiting for your own money thats too much
