Financing

One of the most important questions you'll have to answer before you start studying in Munich is how to finance your studies. When enrolling at university, you'll need to provide proof that you have access to sufficient financial means for your studies in Germany (approx. €10,236 per year, as of Oct. 2019). The higher amount applies to all visa applications submitted from 1 September 2019 onwards.

You should make sure to calculate carefully and realistically; the most common reason for international students in Germany to stop their studies earlier than intended is a lack of financial resources.

There's also the possibility to ask someone in Germany to sign a declaration of commitment ("Verpflichtungserklärung"). By signing this declaration, the person commits themselves to cover the costs of your stay in Germany. This is, however, a great responsibility for the person signing the declaration. They also need to personally go to the foreigners office in charge with several documents in order to sign the declaration. It is therefore important to discuss this matter in detail beforehand.
