Questions
Can I transfer the amount in parts?
Yes: from one or several accounts, even from different countries. Each transfer gets its own payment in the portal. The blocking confirmation for the visa is issued once the full amount has arrived.
Is there a deadline for the transfer?
A payment set up in the portal is valid for one month. A direct euro transfer to the details in the account opening confirmation has no deadline.
