How to apply for a surety bond
The Suretyship is a guarantee document that the foreigner must present to the Italian Consulate or Embassy in the country of origin when applying for a visa, to demonstrate that he or she can provide for his or her own financial support during his or her stay in Italy and the Schengen area.
The Guarantee for Foreigners is required by the Italian Government, and the person who wishes to invite a non-EU guest must be an Italian citizen or a foreign citizen with a regular residence permit.
The maximum length of stay in Italy cannot exceed 90 days. The maximum validity of the surety, however, varies depending on the type of visa:
