Visa enquiries

[Anu3hree]

have few enquiries.
1)for EU( specially Germany) countries do we need to show proof of financial statement covering atleast one year expenses(living ,food etc all included) for a visa interview even after we are getting a monthly funding from the particular University for PhD?
2)is it mandatory to purchase health insurance for phd students before visa interview for germany? If, so, how much are we suppose to spend in buying it?

You should contact the school. They have worked with students in your situation, and will be better able to answer your questions.
