Verpflichtungserklärung for Non-EU Parents Visiting Germany - Do I Need One or Two Documents?

Upvote:2

Do I need to provide one Verpflichtungserklärung document or two separate documents for both of my parents?

You need only one Verpflichtungserklärung and one appointment.

The form is built for one visitor with extra fields for:

  • accompanied by his or her spouse [of the visitor]
  • accompanied by children [of the visitor]
  • relationship of the applicant to the visitor

while others suggest that one document may be sufficient for a family unit.

Yes, the family unit of the visitor (the visitors spouse or children).

Since your second parent is the spouse of your first parent (that you, as applicant, enter into the form), that parent is added in a special field if the second parent is accompaning the first. The same is true for any children of the first parent.

Documents required

  • Form „Angaben zur Verpflichtungserklärung“ (filled out)
    ...
    • Accompanying spouses and minor unmarried children of your visitor can be entered on the same form.
    • For each other family member accompanying your visitor, please fill in a separate declaration of commitment.
