Where to open a blocked bank account?

Should the blocked bank account be opened in German bank branches located in Germany or would it be accepted if it is opened in a Turkish bank located in Turkey?

Hello @Typhoon , thanks for reaching out.

as far as we know it is possible to also have a block account outside of Germany, if they meet the requirements. This means that every month only a certain amount can be taken. This amount depends on the type of visa you want. Usually, as far as I know, most people choose German banks because their local branches do not offer this specific requirement of the exact amount. Unfortunately, I do not know about Turkish banks.

Please double check with if the bank allows for a block account that is required for a German visa. 

Maybe also some community members are able to give you further tips.

Please let me know if you have further questions. 
Best wishes

Thank you very much for your prompt answer, Yara. I will search and investigate the situation for a block account at the local country banks.

Best Wishes,

Typhoon
