So, to justify your financial means, you can opt for a financial support. But beware, your guarantor needs to be wealthy, otherwise, it might be complicated. A permanent contract is ideal, unless they have plenty of cash in their bank account. In that case, a bank statement will do.
Now, let’s talk about eligibility conditions. Basically, anyone can provide you with financial support, but your guarantor must have enough funds. The amount of net monthly resources they must have is calculated as follows: €1329.05 for the guarantor, €615.00 for you, and €150.00 per family member dependent on the guarantor or your family accompanying you. That’s some calculations, right?
If all this seems complex to understand, consider the Preliminary Analysis Private Pass and benefit from personalised support for private answers to your specific questions. Simplify your journey now!
Types of Financial Support
Let’s move on to the types of financial support. There are two: total support, which includes funding and accommodation, and financial support, which concerns only money. If your guarantor lives in the same city as you, they can accommodate you during your studies and provide total support. Otherwise, they will settle for financial support.
Documents to Provide
Ah, and don’t forget the documents to provide! Your guarantor should ideally legalise the financial support statement at the town hall and attach plenty of documents:
- Identity document,
- Payslips,
- Bank statements,
- Tax notice,
- Proof of residence,
- Employment contract.
Special Case: If your guarantor is involved in an independent professional activity or is a trader, here are the documents you will need to justify their situation.
You will need to provide:
- The commercial register or a professional card to establish their activity.
- A recent patent notice and a payment receipt for this patent will be necessary to confirm their status.
- Their latest tax notice will be required to assess their fiscal situation.
- You will also need to submit three professional bank statements to better understand their finances related to their activity.
- Additionally, three personal bank statements may be necessary, depending on the situation, to have a complete overview of their financial resources, whether related to their professional or personal activity.
Note that there is no harm if your guarantor only provides personal or professional bank statements, or even both. The essential thing is to have an overall view of their financial means.
All this to commit financially and legally, otherwise beware of imprisonment and fines in case of forgery!
Finally, for the financial support statement, there are specific forms at the prefectures. Otherwise, you can download in pdf financial support statement template.pdf.
There you go, you have all the information to justify your means of subsistence and submit your visa application.
We are at your service to assist you in your procedures whatever your case. Take your Preliminary Analysis Private Pass for a complete evaluation of your situation.
Good luck, and don’t forget to keep smiling, even with all these formalities!
