Visit Germany from Vietnam

I'm planning to invite a friend to come to Germany over Christmas. I will pay everything for this trip including plane tickets, since my friend can't afford this trip at all and can't prove any income.
Through some research I found out I'm supposed to show the original of a document that I have to fill out to prove that I can afford to invite this person.

Does this mean I have to send a physical document to Vietnam to my friend for the Visa? Is there any easier way?

Best Answer

Yes. You need to provide all necessary information to prove that you are capable of covering all expenses for your friend's travel. The documents must be sent to your Vietnamese friends for his visa application. As I know, this is the only way. There's no other option.
