Dear Abdirahman Mursal Mumin,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand you are applying for the German Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) and your application was held up due to the requirement for proof of financial support. This is a common and critical step, but there is a clear path forward even without a sponsor in Germany.

Meeting the Financial Requirement

The most common and accepted method for self-sponsored applicants to prove they can cover their living expenses is by using a Blocked Account (Sperrkonto).

What it is: A blocked account is a special German bank account where you deposit the total funds required for your stay. It is "blocked" in the sense that you can only withdraw a fixed monthly amount once you arrive in Germany, which proves to the authorities that your funds will last for the intended period.

Required Amount: You must deposit enough to cover your living costs for the duration of your visa, typically one year for job seekers. The current estimated requirement is €1,027 per month, which totals €12,324 for a year. This amount can be subject to change by the German government.

How to Open It: You can open a blocked account from your home country through several government-approved providers online. Once the account is funded, the provider will issue a confirmation certificate that you can submit with your visa application.

The process of selecting a provider, transferring the funds, and obtaining the correct documentation can be complex. I can provide personalized, step-by-step guidance to help you successfully complete this process and ensure your visa application is approved.

For a small fee, I offer detailed consultation via WhatsApp where we can discuss your specific situation, review your options, and walk through the entire procedure. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me on WhatsApp to discuss the service and fees.

Best regards,
