Schengen visa documents for inviting unemployed family member
I am an Indian currently residing in Germany. I would like to invite my little sister to visit me in Germany for about 9 days.
I have obtained a formal obligation letter from here and other necessary documents (health insurance, flight tickets etc.) for Schengen visa application. I will be sponsoring her trip including all expenses.
Since my sister is unemployed, she does not have any income or proof of occupation. In this case, are any additional documents or is a NOC required? What kind of documents will be a sufficient proof of financial status in this case?
