What funds do I need for a Schengen visa?

Upvote:1

The funds requirement for your subsistence in Germany will be around €4000, but you will also have to convince the visa official that you are going to leave the Schengen area afterwards.

  • The best way to do that is a stable, well-paid job. The pattern of income and expenditure matters, not just the amount of money when you make the application.
  • Another way are solid ties to the local economy and society at your place of residence. That can mean relatives who do not travel with you, or owning property.
  • Depending on his financial situation and residency status, your husband may be able to file a written bond with the municipal authorities where he promises to pay for any cost of overstay (unintentional or intentional). Such a VerpflichungserklΓ€rung is no guarantee of a visa, but it can help.
  • Instead of a tourist visa for 90 days, ask on Expatriates Stack Exchange about family reunification visa.
