You only need to inform the authorities about the number of people you intend to invite and present documents. They will most probably issue 1 Verpflichtungserklärung.

Brother, had a basic query.. I have relative in Germany who can sponsor me.. But I will cover my all expenses including living by myself. Would that be possible? I mean in your video you mentioned that "What is covered & you mentioned accommodation, living etc" So Does he have to pay? I mean is it recommended that he have to pay for my fees or a certain amount of Money?? Or I can handle them my self after reaching Germany. Actually I planned to reach there through sponsorship & after reaching there, I will cover up all of my fees myself through part time job...So will that be possible or he have to pay or show any documents regarding that he is paying for my living?? Waiting for your answer....!

Will my Sponsor‘s bank account got blocked too? do they have to give an evidence that they support our living expenses while we‘re in Germany? Or they just only need to show their salary statement ?

[@Germany4Students]

Thanks for your question. Your sponsor in Germany must visit the local authorities along with salary slips of last 3 months to get a document through which he takes the responsibility of your expenses while your stay in Germany as student. He has to send this document to you so that you can appear for visa interview along with this document. In this case you do not need blocked bank account. The account of your sponsor will not be blocked. I hope this answer your questions?
