You would like to invite a guest from abroad? The Swiss diplomatic mission responsible in the person's homeland decides whether the person applying for the visa requires a formal guarantee bond. If yes, then they issue you with the numbered guarantee form. The person submitting the application (your guest) fills out the form and forwards it to the guarantor (you as the host). Once you have filled out your section and signed the form, please bring it to our counter in the Town Office. The municipality has to clarify whether you, as the guarantor, are in a position to meet the financial obligations involved: with your signature you pledge to accept liability for any uncovered costs for your guest's living expenses, up to an amount of CHF 30,000.-- (including accident, sickness and return voyage). The form is then forwarded to the State Secretariat for Migration. Cost: CHF 20.
