Invitation Letter for a Visitor Visa: What to Include
An invitation letter may support a visit but does not replace the applicant’s own evidence or guarantee approval. Requirements vary; use a factual letter and confirm whether the authority asks for host documents.
Typical documents to prepare
- Host’s full name and contact details
- Relationship to the applicant
- Purpose and planned dates of the visit
- Accommodation or financial support being offered
- Host status evidence only where requested
Application steps
- Check the destination’s official guidance
- Describe the visit factually and consistently
- Clarify who pays each cost
- Attach only relevant, authentic host evidence
