Document background
The Affidavit of Support Letter for Immigration is a critical document in Hong Kong's immigration system, commonly used when individuals or organizations sponsor foreign nationals for various immigration purposes. This sworn statement, governed by Hong Kong law, particularly the Immigration Ordinance and Oaths and Declarations Ordinance, provides the Immigration Department with legally binding assurance of financial support for visa applicants. The document typically includes detailed information about the sponsor's financial capability, the specific commitments being made, and the duration of support. It's particularly relevant in situations involving family reunification, employment-based immigration, and student visas, where the Hong Kong authorities require proof of adequate financial support to prevent immigrants from requiring public assistance.
