What is a Fi­nan­zie­rungs­nach­weis?

A proof of financial resources (Finanzierungsnachweis) is required to apply for student, au-pair, language student and job-seeker visas.

Usually, this means you must open a blocked account (Sperrkonto). You put money in this bank account, and you get it back in monthly payments.
