Excursus: Proof of financial resources
The proof of financial resources serves to document that the foreigner has sufficient financial
resources to cover the subsistence costs and that these resources are initially available for
the period of one year to ensure that the foreigner does not have to take recourse to any
social security benefits in the host country during the stay. Third-country students and
student applicants must prove that they have financial resources equal to the maximum
BAföG educational assistance rate (Section 2, 3 Residence Act) available to them. As a rule,
this currently amounts to 585 euros per month or 7,020 euros per year. However, experience
has also shown that some foreigners authorities demand proof of higher financial resources.
Since the level of the verifiable subsistence level is now directly governed by the Act, this
should soon no longer occur.
The proof of financial resources can be provided (No. 16.0.8 of the Provisional Administrative
Guidelines on the Residence Act) either by
· stating the income and assets of the parents,· or by submitting a declaration of commitment (a formal payment guarantee) to the
foreigners authority or to the diplomatic mission abroad promising to pay the foreign
student's cost of living,
· or by depositing a security payment in a blocked account in Germany,
· or by depositing an annually renewable bank guarantee at a financial institution (bank) in
Germany,
· or by presenting a scholarship/grant paid from German public funds, a scholarship/grant
awarded by a funding organisation duly recognised in Germany or a scholarship/grant
paid from public funds in the country of origin, if the Federal Foreign Office, the German
Academic Exchange Service or another German scholarship/grant-awarding organisation
was responsible for placing the student at the German university.
Not all federal states accept each of the above-listed financing options. |
