Yes, you can still use your bank account* after your blocked account is closed as long as you always have your valid German visa or residence permit document uploaded to your Expatrio account. 

We will notify you via your Expatrio app when it is time to upload a new document. Regardless of how did you activate your account originally (with or without a visa/residence permit document) your bank account will be suspended if you do not submit your up to date residence permit or visa document in time.

You will see a banner like below at the top of your Expatrio app to remind you to upload the necessary document:

To learn more about how to keep the bank account active please check our related article here.

Important: 

• If you do not upload the valid residence permit document in time, you will have 10 days grace period and your account will have to be closed afterwards.

• After you blocked account is closed, the monthly service fee of the bank account will be €5.
