How the calculation works
- The German Embassy Dhaka asks for a blocked account of at least €11,904 — €992 a month for 12 months
- Add the provider's fee and your travel health insurance until enrolment (at least 3 months)
- The total is converted to taka at today's market rate — your bank's rate and charges come on top
- In Germany, student health and care insurance is calculated on the official base of €855 a month: about €143, or about €148 if you are 23 or older without children
