Money Matters
Financial Requirements
Show enough funds for a strong, credible visa profile.
Official Legal Minimum
≈ €3,410
Baseline for one year (subsistence minimum). The embassy calculates €56 per day of stay — reduced to €26/day if accommodation is already paid.
IndoGerman Recommendation
€8,000 – €10,000
Maintain this in liquid funds where possible for a much stronger profile. Student account preferred; sponsor account accepted with a notarised sponsorship declaration.
Bank statement rules: within the last 90 days, bank stamped & signed, showing 3–6 months of transaction history. Savings/liquid accounts preferred — FD/Mutual Funds without liquidation remain a grey area.
