Guarantor Requirements/Criterias

Selam / Merhaba Taulant,

It depends on the situation. If you can trust the German citizen then sure go forward with this person however remember you are relying on them for everything.. but in some cases this can be good for the German government especially if this citizen is in good standing with the German government. The citizen would just go to the Alien Registration Office (Ausländerbehörde) to cover your expenses.

With a blocked account you just deposit a security payment.

I believe the amount is 8.700 for one year? Then you show your Finanzierungsnachweis or proof of financial resources.

Hello!
Firstly, thanks for the valuable advice! The guarantor is a family member whom holds a german citizenship. He offered to be a guarantor and cover the expenses but I'm still having a bit of confusion and difinitely have no idea about the bureacracies regarding to this procedure!!

Thank you once again

Great its a family member, you can trust him/her. I would make sure they have good standing with the German government so you don't run into trouble in the future. Bureaucracies are that we have a lot of paperwork and procedures. This should be a little easier since the University will guide you and or have someone to assist. Please reach out to the Uni.

When i returned from the USA, i had a lot of paperwork to full out and i didn't know exactly where to go. So doing your research is very important, websites, university, see if there is a welcome center in Mannheim, etc. I would start making calls, emails to these people (government agencies, university, use google translate to translate into German to inquire now.)

I cannot give you exact details because my friends tell me that it depends on the country your from. However they all went to the Foreigners office and utilized their University for assistance. 

I did a search on this topic for you, and here is a site that has other topics in this subject...

Very informative

You are so helpful. Thank you once again

TaulantFer: A guarantor must agree to not only cover all your daily expenses in Germany, but also legal and deportation costs if you do something wrong. This is a HUGE commitment that can easily cost tens of thousands of Euros.
I suggest the blocked account is a better way if you don't want to burden your relatives!

Yes, I was thinking the same. I don't want all that "weight" in someone's shoulders, no matter what kind of personality I am. I will scrutinize both opportunities for two more days but I'm leaning towards a blocked account!

Thanks a lot !

This site should help clarify any requirements to study in Germany:

Nobody other than a family member or very close friend would take on the responsibility for all your expenses, no matter what you do or what goes wrong, that a visa guarantorship includes.
Neither should you burden anyone with such a responsibility.
Therefore I recommend you move to Germany only when you can afford it yourself.
