Document background
An Affidavit of Support Letter for a Friend is a crucial document in New Zealand's immigration process, commonly used when supporting visa applications for friends seeking to enter or remain in New Zealand. The document serves as a formal, legally binding declaration where the supporter commits to providing specific types of assistance (such as financial support or accommodation) to their friend. It must comply with New Zealand's Immigration Act 2009 and be executed according to the Oaths and Declarations Act 1957. The affidavit includes detailed information about both parties, the nature of their relationship, the type and extent of support offered, and the supporter's capacity to fulfill these commitments. This document is particularly important for visitor visas, student visas, and other temporary stay applications where the applicant needs to demonstrate adequate support during their stay in New Zealand.
