What does the validity date on the 06 Blocked Amount Confirmation mean?

You might see the below text on your Blocked Amount Confirmation document:

This document is issued on day.month.year and is valid for 12 months after the account holder's entry into the Federal Republic of Germany or in case of no entry into Germany - for 12 months after the issue date.

It is important to understand that this validity date is for the document itself, not for your Blocked Account. You blocked account will be valid until it is closed upon your request or after the last payout is sent. 

This validity date does not mean that your blocked account will be closed at that date. It only means that this current document no longer acts as proof of your blocked amount after this date.

What if I need a new 06 Blocked Amount Confirmation?

We can issue a new 06 Blocked Amount Confirmation for you at any time, provided your blocked account has not been closed.

This information should not cause any issue for your Visa or Residence Permit application process.
