If you want to enable one or more foreign guests to stay in Germany, you can commit to providing for his or her living expenses.
People from third countries who wish to enter or stay in Germany usually require a visa or residence permit. When applying for a visa or residence permit, they must prove that they are able to support themselves while they are in Germany.
People from third countries are people from countries that are not part of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.
If you invite people from third countries to Germany and want to enable them to enter or stay in Germany, you can undertake to cover the living costs of the person or people you invite. In addition to food, accommodation and clothing, living costs also include care in the event of illness and need for nursing care. The obligation to pay also includes covering any costs of repatriation to the home country. Before you submit the declaration of commitment, you must describe your own financial situation and prove your ability to pay.
The declaration of commitment enables third-country nationals to provide evidence that they meet the economic requirements for the issuance of a residence permit or a Schengen visa.
A declaration of commitment can be made by natural or legal persons (for example companies, charitable associations).
