International students pay the same fees as local students, and there's no requirement for a blocked account when applying for visa extensions. You just need to prove you have enough funds to support yourself.

Kaiserslautern is a good city for international students, though finding a part-time job here can be difficult. It's challenging but not impossible.

Communication is key. If something is unclear, don't hesitate to ask for help, either from people who have had the same experience or directly from the relevant authorities. Engaging in student activities is also very important.
