Financial Guarantee for Family Reunification in Switzerland

Accepted Proof of Funds for Reuniting with Family Members

To bring a spouse, child, or family member to Switzerland, sponsors must prove they have sufficient financial means to support their relatives. This requirement applies to both Swiss residents and foreign residents (permit holders) requesting family reunification (financial guarantee family reunification Switzerland).

Swiss-Guarantor provides a recognized financial guarantee that helps applicants meet these requirements quickly and reliably — often within 24 hours.
Our guarantee strengthens your application and increases the likelihood of approval.

What Is Family Reunification in Switzerland?

Family reunification allows eligible residents in Switzerland to bring close relatives to live with them. This includes:

  • Spouses
  • Registered partners
  • Children under 18
  • In some cases, dependent parents or relatives (varies by canton)

To approve the request, Swiss authorities must confirm:

  • Adequate income
  • Sufficient funds to support the family
  • Suitable housing
  • Valid health insurance

If the sponsor does not fully meet the financial criteria, a financial guarantee is often required.

Why a Financial Guarantee May Be Required

Cantonal authorities will evaluate the sponsor’s financial situation carefully. A financial guarantee is required when:

  • Income is below the cantonal minimum threshold
  • Employment is recent or unstable
  • Bank statements show low or irregular balances
  • The family is large or housing costs are high
  • The canton has strict financial requirements
  • The sponsor receives partial social assistance
  • The authority requests “additional proof of financial means”

Swiss-Guarantor provides the enhanced financial documentation needed to satisfy these concerns.

How Much Money Must Sponsors Show?

This depends on:

  • The size of the family
  • The cost of housing
  • The canton (Geneva, Vaud, Zürich, Basel, etc.)
  • Whether the sponsor receives any social support
  • Whether the applicant will work after arrival

Most cantons require the sponsor to earn enough to cover:

✔ Rent & utilities

✔ Health insurance premiums

✔ Food & living expenses

✔ Schooling or childcare costs

✔ Household expenses

Our financial guarantee can be tailored to the exact amount required by the canton.

Cantonal migration offices typically accept:

  • Salary statements (3–6 months)
