Document background
The Affidavit of Support and Guarantee is a critical document in Hong Kong's legal framework, particularly utilized in immigration contexts and family support arrangements. This document serves as a formal, sworn declaration where the guarantor legally commits to providing financial and other support to the beneficiary. It is commonly required for visa applications, student sponsorships, or family support arrangements. The affidavit must comply with Hong Kong's legal requirements, including proper witnessing by authorized persons and specific content requirements under the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance. The document typically includes detailed financial information, support commitments, duration of support, and may be scrutinized by immigration authorities or other relevant institutions. Its preparation requires careful consideration of both immigration law and contract law principles to ensure enforceability.
