Embassy here will only require you block your one year living expenses which is the normal 11,994 Euro or thereabout. The confirmation is what you take along for your appointment.
an instance: let’s say i applied on the german portal for visa today. i filled the first application form. when is the deadline for locking of funds?
do you mean it can be done anytime within the waiting period as long as it is ready before my appointment?

Bro Chill...relax. We understand your situation, I guess like you said,you just applied recently using the consular portal.

If your school doesn't defer,no need to Panic,just let the Admission go. The most important thing is that you have registered on the portal and are on the waiting list.

The Embassy is fully aware of the Waiting period,so nothing like penalizing cus obviously the Documents you uploaded would have expired as at when they will call you for an appointment. You just have to reapply to the University(Probably when you know your appointment date is getting closer)

The Embassy is still in 10th Dec 2023.
So chill,don't Panic. You can also source for Scholarships which will make the process faster for you.
thanks for this . i appreciate.

another question.
my course is two years. when i’m applying for visa with locked funds, am i to lock funds for a year or two?

Better still he could defer his appointment at the embassy till he receives a new admission

As of I heard you can defer up till three times

With Good reason
In a situation whereby the school does not support deferral at all (eg RWTH Aachen), is it advisable to have gotten another admission letter before the visa appointment date? (this is because the original admission letter used for the application would have expired before the visa appointment)

won’t the person be penalized at the embassy because it’s a different admission letter (even though it’s the same school, but a different admission letter date from the one used to originally apply for the visa application)

damn, i’m going crazy! please come to my aid.

good day guys
i’m in a quite dilemmatic situation
i recently gained admission to a university in germany for my masters (summer 2026), but i haven’t applied for visa because i'm still working on sorting out the proof of funds part.

i just begun application for the DAAD scholarship for 2026 session but i don’t think it will be ready before summer 2026. also the waiting time for visa takes close to two years for approval. my school says admission cannot be deferred.

what can i do please?🙏
