Document background
The Affidavit of Financial Support is a crucial document in Malaysian legal practice, particularly in immigration and education contexts. It serves as a formal declaration where one party commits to providing financial support to another, typically for purposes such as education, family maintenance, or immigration requirements. The document must be executed in accordance with Malaysian law, specifically the Statutory Declarations Act 1960 and related regulations. It requires detailed financial information, proof of income and assets, and must be sworn before a Commissioner for Oaths. Common uses include supporting student visa applications, family immigration cases, and demonstrating financial capability for dependent care. The affidavit typically needs to be accompanied by supporting documentation such as bank statements, employment verification, and proof of assets.
