The Affidavit of Support for Visitor Visa is a crucial document in South Africa's visa application process, required when a local sponsor undertakes to support a foreign visitor during their stay in the country. This document is typically used when visitors need to demonstrate sufficient financial support for their intended stay, particularly in cases where they don't have independent means or when additional assurance is required by immigration authorities. The affidavit must comply with South African immigration laws and regulations, including the Immigration Act 13 of 2002 and its associated regulations. It serves as a legally binding commitment by the sponsor to provide specific forms of support, which may include accommodation, living expenses, medical costs, and return travel arrangements. The document is particularly important for family visits, academic exchanges, business trips, and tourism purposes where formal support arrangements are necessary.
