A written sponsorship affidavit is frequently a requirement for students seeking a study visa to Poland. This document is crucial in proving that the student has enough money to support their education.
The Polish Embassy frequently demands that this affidavit be legally authenticated prior to submission. This means that in order for the document to be legally acknowledged for use abroad, it must be notarised and apostilled.
In order to ensure that sponsorship affidavits for Polish student visa applications are accurately produced, notarised, and apostilled, we at Forecast Consulting support sponsors and students throughout the entire procedure.
A Sponsorship Affidavit: What Is It?
A sponsor’s written legal declaration attesting to their promise to provide financial support for a student while they study in Poland is known as a sponsorship affidavit.
Usually, this document attests to the following:
- The student’s tuition will be paid by the sponsor.
- Living expenses and lodging will be covered by the sponsor.
- The sponsor is able to pay for this assistance.
- The sponsor-student relationship (if any)
Typically, the affidavit is filed with supporting documentation, including identity documents, bank statements, and evidence of income.
Why Are Apostille and Notarisation Needed?
The sponsorship affidavit needs to be officially validated in order for Polish authorities to recognise it because it is utilised outside of South Africa.
There are two crucial steps in this process:
1. Notarisation
A notary public acknowledges that the affidavit has been correctly executed as a sworn statement and confirms the identity of the signer.
2. Apostille
The document is then legally valid for use in Poland under the Hague Convention when an apostille certificate is produced to verify the notary’s signature.
Without these procedures, the document might be rejected by the embassy, which could cause a delay or have a detrimental effect on a visa application.

A sponsor may be:

The primary prerequisite is that the sponsor must be able to substantiate the affidavit with supporting evidence and show that they are financially capable.
