Letters of commitment, stay over 3 months

  •  

Detailed description

Submitting a declaration of commitment to cover the maintenance costs on behalf of a foreigner is one way of helping the foreigner to obtain a residence permit if the foreigner himself does not have sufficient means.

Depending on the type and duration of the intended stay, different requirements are placed on the financial capacity of the person obliged to do so in order to meet the requirement of sufficient means of subsistence.

The declaration of commitment is certified on a standardized, forgery-proof form.

A declaration of commitment cannot be made by the following persons:

  • Recipients of benefits under the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act, SGB II or SGB XII
  • for foreigners if they have the following: toleration, residence permit, visa for visitor purposes, short-term residence permits.

In Hamburg, the Hamburg Service on Site - Locations for Foreigners' Affairs are the responsible offices.
