Suppose you don’t have enough financial resources and want to study in Germany with a relative or anyone else’s financial support. Then you can provide a sponsorletter or affidavit of support to the German embassy.
Difference between a sponsorletter and formal obligation:
Keep in mind; this sponsor letter is different from the Formal Obligation (“Verpflichtungserklärung”, declaration of liability) or sponsor letter from a German grantor.
If you want to apply with Formal Obligation (foreign sponsorletter), it is necessary to come from German residents.
Required documents to show with sponsor letter/affidavit of support :
If you want to provide this sponsorletter, you also have to provide your sponsor’s income proof and bank statements. This sponsorletter must be on a letter of the affidavit and must state that your sponsor is ready to pay your expenses during your studies.
If the sponsor is your father/mother, please also provide a copy of their ID-card. If the sponsor is your sibling, please also provide their ID-card and your FRC (Family Registration Certificate) to prove your sponsor’s relationship.
Format of sponsor letter/affidavit of support:
The sponsor letter format for Germany looks like this. Students can change it according to their data.
