The option of using public transport with a student ID card will end at the end of the 2023 summer semester. The reason for this is

Information about “blocked bank account” – Sperrkonto (for visa purposes)

On order to get a Visa, International Students must open a „Sperrkonto“ (blocked account) before the visa can be
issued. Normally 11,208 € (934 € x 12months) must be deposited into this account.

However, the local immigration office insist on proof of your financial security for the whole of the study period (18
months) which means you will have to deposit another 5,604 € before they will consider a visa extension/ residence
permit.

This means we highly recommend that you deposit 16,812 € at the outset!
