The Affidavit For Financial Support For Visa is a crucial document in German immigration processes, required when an individual or organization wishes to sponsor a foreign national's stay in Germany. This formal declaration, governed by German immigration law, particularly the Aufenthaltsgesetz (Residence Act), serves as a legally binding commitment from the sponsor to cover all living expenses, medical costs, and potential repatriation expenses of the visa applicant. The document is commonly used for various visa types, including student visas, family reunification visas, and visitor visas. It must be officially certified and typically remains valid for up to five years or the duration of the intended stay. The affidavit demonstrates to German authorities that the visa applicant has sufficient financial backing and won't require public welfare support during their stay in Germany.
