The Affidavit of Sponsorship for Visa is a critical document required by Swiss immigration authorities when individuals or organizations wish to sponsor foreign nationals for entry into Switzerland. This document is commonly used in various scenarios, including corporate relocations, family reunifications, educational pursuits, or long-term residency applications. The affidavit must comply with Swiss federal legislation, particularly the FNIA and OPEV, as well as specific cantonal requirements. It typically includes detailed information about the sponsor's financial capacity, the scope and duration of support, and explicit acknowledgment of legal obligations. The document requires notarization and may need to be submitted to both cantonal authorities and Swiss diplomatic missions abroad. It serves as a legally binding guarantee that the visa applicant will not become a public charge during their stay in Switzerland.
