Do I need a bank account for visa or is CCP enough?

Hello everyone,

I'm an Algerian engineering student, planning to do my PFE (projet de fin d'études) at a German semiconductor company.

I already did contact a company, got positive response for a paid one month internship, February 2027.

I have most documents ready, except that i was told i needed 6 months of bank account history in documents (is that true?), i don't have a bank account, but i have years of CCP transactions, my dad sends me money every month since my uni is away from home.

Do i actually need a bank account? if so, i thought i would open one with BNP Paribas, are they a good option? do i also need the bank history (or other proof of income) for my dad?

There's also my passport which is completely empty, i have never been out of the country.

What about the passport being empty, is that a problem? i could sneak a visit to Tunisia, would that be enough?

Thanks in advance.
