Document background
The Affidavit of Support Letter for Immigration is a crucial document required by the Dutch immigration authorities (IND) when processing certain types of residence permit applications. This document is particularly relevant in cases of family reunification, study permits, or employment-based immigration where financial guarantees are required. The affidavit must comply with the Vreemdelingenwet 2000 and related Dutch immigration regulations, requiring specific information about the sponsor's financial capacity, employment status, and commitment to support. It serves as a legally binding guarantee that the immigrant will not become a public charge, and the sponsor accepts financial responsibility for the beneficiary's living expenses and other costs during their stay in the Netherlands. The document must be properly executed, including notarization, and accompanied by supporting documentation such as income statements and employment verification.
