The Affidavit of Invitation is a crucial document in the Swiss immigration process, required when a Swiss resident or citizen wishes to formally invite and sponsor a foreign visitor's stay in Switzerland. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides immigration authorities with verified information about both the host and visitor, demonstrates the host's capability to support the visitor financially, and establishes legal accountability for the duration of the visit. The affidavit must comply with both federal Swiss immigration laws and specific cantonal requirements, making it a key component in visa applications and visitor registration processes. It's commonly used for personal visits, business trips, academic exchanges, and cultural programs, requiring notarization and often registration with local authorities. The document's importance lies in its legally binding nature, protecting both the Swiss state's interests and ensuring proper support for visiting foreign nationals.
