You should not transfer more money than required. The Total Blocked Amount already includes a €100 buffer, all fees for your blocked account, and the Additional Basic Sum (if required by the German authorities), so more funds are unnecessary.
If you need to block a higher amount than what is showing as the total required blocked amount on your Expatrio portal, you should update the set-up of your blocked account first before transferring excess funds. You can go to your Blocked account status and use the 'Change details' button to start the process.
The update will be immediate if you have no funds in the blocked account yet. If you already have funds, our customer support team will process your change request within one business day.
Please note: For a Blocked Account balance of over €22834, our banking partner requests a written confirmation from the authority handling your visa application confirming the amount you need to be blocked.
If you transfer slightly more than the required amount, you don't have to worry. The extra amount will be returned with your first monthly payout.
