Affidavit of Support (AOS)

Requested from BI by J. Del Corro at 12:54 PM on May 11, 2023.
Purpose: Travel
Date of Coverage: 05/11/2023 - 05/11/2023
Tracking no: #BI-766003371547

Hi, good day! 

I plan to travel soon in Norway with my boyfriend under tour/visit visa. This trip is self-funded; we paid for everything and we have prepared pocket money as well. We will stay in my sister and her husband's house during this period. We have secured the Sponsorship Form from the UDI website that indicates that our accommodation is private and that we will be staying at my sister's house. My question is, do I still need to secure AOS even if it's self-funded and we already have a Sponsorship form? Kindly advise as we want to avoid unnecessary issues upon the day of our trip. TY
