Proof of sufficient financial means for a stay in the Netherlands
When a foreign traveler applies for a visa for the Netherlands, he or she must be able to demonstrate that he or she can afford the travel and accommodation costs. For example, the visa applicant must prove that he or she can spend € 55 per day (per person).
For example, when the visa applicant applies for a 45-day visa, an amount of € 2.475 must be available (45 x € 55). The documentary evidence that demonstrates that you have sufficient financial means for the stay in the Netherlands, the transit and/or the return journey, may consist of, for example:
- One or more bank statements
- Traveller's checks
- Cash
- Credit cards
- Prepaid housing
- Prepaid transportation
- Other (specify)

Financial guarantee
If the visa applicant does not have sufficient financial means themselves, someone in the Netherlands can act as a guarantor . This can be done using an original form, *Proof of Guarantee and/or Private Accommodation* . This must be signed by the guarantor, who must have their signature legalized at the municipality.
The guarantor must demonstrate that he has sufficient and sustainable income . He encloses a copy of his employment contract, the last 3 payslips, an employer's statement, and a copy of his passport with this form.
Is the guarantor married? Then the sponsor's partner must also sign the form. Are the sponsor and the guarantor not one and the same person? Then both must each fill in and sign a separate form. The form can only be used by one person at a time.
