Admission and financial evidence are separate gates
The federal study-route guidance requires admission to a state-recognised institution and evidence of funding. It cites EUR 11,904 for a blocked account in 2026, with alternative funding evidence possible.
Do not rely on this as current guidance. Open the official source and obtain a new review.
Open source-review issue, observed 2026-09-03: Production checker returned HTTP 200 but found 0/2 markers. The separately reviewed official page still displayed the 2026 figure; the mismatch cause is unconfirmed. Review action and deadline →
Applies to: Applicants using the German higher-education study route; visa exemptions and personal circumstances still matter.

Is this the admitted-student route or the study-place-seeking route?

Source watch / Separate from editorial review
Inspect the update signals.
The checker reads registered public pages only. Results are cached for up to six hours; a daily job is configured, not a guarantee of continuous monitoring. HTTP access and selected text markers cannot prove that a rule is current or applies to you. Successful checks never renew editorial dates or clear outstanding review issues.
Personal safety, salary, housing affordability, immigration eligibility, university quality and your chance of success require separate evidence. TGPI does not substitute macroeconomic indicators for these answers or issue an unsupported “best country” score.
Build one scenario in one currency. Blank amounts stay unknown; enter zero only when a cost genuinely does not apply. Changing the country starts a new worksheet. Save or export first. Do not enter identity documents, account numbers or other sensitive identifiers.

Research checklist / Personal confirmation
Go to the responsible authority.
Use the dossier’s source links where available and confirm the applicable route with the responsible authority. The summaries do not cover every nationality, programme, profession or family situation. Your existing checklist is preserved below; a checkmark is your research record, not a certified document or legal approval.
