Extend your blocked account with Expatrio – save money and get rewards while you’re at it

As an international student or expat who has recently moved to Germany, you are likely already aware of the visa requirement for a blocked account. This account is proof that you have enough financial resources for your stay in the country.

But what happens if you want to stay longer than you originally planned? You'll need to get a residency permit extension, or in German -  'Verlängerung eines Aufenthaltstitels'.

Don’t worry, Expatrio is here to help.

Not only do we offer blocked account extensions for existing Expatrio customers but we also work with non-existing customers too! Meaning you can have a blocked account with another provider, and switch to Expatrio to extend. Advantages include cashback of up to €109* on your blocked account fees, and we'll help make your visa extension process as easy as possible.

For even more perks, refer your friends to extend their blocked accounts with Expatrio and get rewards for doing so!
