Let’s dive in!

What Is An Invitation Letter For Visa Application?

An Invitation Letter for a visa application is a letter that the applicant has to submit to the embassy or consulate where they are applying for a visitor visa.

This document is written by the applicant’s host and addressed to the applicant or the consular officer . It confirms that they will accommodate the applicant in their home for the whole stay in the country where the host lawfully resides.

What Are The Requirements To Write A Letter Of Invitation?

The host must fulfil the following requirements for the letter of invitation to be valid:

Must be a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the country you plan on visiting
Must be your friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, or family member / relative
Must have a registered place (home, flat)
Must have enough room for the applicant

Every embassy in the world does not require a Letter of Invitation, but it is strongly recommended to submit one even if not required.

How To Write A Letter Of Invitation For Visa Application?

To many, it might sound confusing, but writing a letter of invitation might be the easiest part of your visa application if you rightly understand what it serves. The letter has to be written by the guest and addressed either to you or to the consular officer.

Some embassies have their invitation form ; therefore, check about it when you get the checklist of visa-required documents. Your host must only fill the empty spaces with the correct information if they already have a form.

But even if they do not, we have listed some samples you can use below by replacing the information according to your case.

When writing an invitation letter, the writer must keep in mind that the letter must include some essential details about the host and the guest.

The letter must contain the following information about the host:

Date of birth
Telephone number
Type of home (owned/rented house / flat / room)
Host’s status in the host country (If the host resides in that country on a work visa, student visa, permanent resident, or citizen or any other legal status)

Full Name as shown on their International Passport
The person’s address and telephone number
Relationship between the host and the guest
The purpose of the trip (friendly visit, holiday, wedding, birthday party.)
The exact entry date and exit date

If the letter is addressed to the guest , make it sound informal . It is better if it sounds more personal and friendlier rather than formal so that the consular officer can better see the relationship between the host and the guest.

Letter Of Invitation Supporting Documents

As mentioned above, the Letter of Invitation is not required in many embassies. Therefore, the host is not obliged to send other documents alongside it.

Still, even if the letter is a requirement or not, it would be very thoughtful if the applicant submitted any of the following documents alongside the Letter of Invitation:

A scanned copy of the host’s ID/passport
Evidence of means of subsistence (if the host will financially support the guest)
Proof of home / flat ownership or rental contract
An Itinerary of the places planned to visit together
If the host has taken days off from work to be with you during your period of stay in their country, then submit a document that proves that would be in your favor.

Where To Submit The Letter Of Invitation?

The guest submits the letter to the embassy or consulate along with the visa document file.

The host must scan it and send it to the guest, who will later submit it with the other supporting documents on their appointment at the embassy or consulate.

Tips For Writing A Letter For Visa Applications

How to write a visa letter is one of many things you should know. Writing a cover letter can be effortless if you understand what information authorities are looking for. However, it may seem daunting if it’s your first time writing a visa letter to official embassy authorities.

Include Essential Details: To increase the chances of a successful visa application, include essential information regarding your trip to the country. First, however, think of what authorities would want to know about. For example, authorities are not interested in the means of transportation you plan to use when visiting the country. However, they want to know what cities you plan to visit and if you have booked any accommodation within those cities.
Always Refer To Your Supporting Documents: The great thing about them is that you can refer to them within your cover letter. This proves the purpose of your trip and acts as additional information that you don’t need to include within your cover letter. For example, suppose you have a planned trip itinerary. In that case, you can mention a few activities within your cover letter and refer to the planned itinerary attached to your visa application. Should authorities want to know more about your plan, they will find more information in your complete itinerary.
Don’t Be Too Personal: Remember, you’re only trying to prove the purpose of your trip, not explain your ambition for travel. It’s acceptable to explain your relationship with a friend or family member you plan to visit. However, it’s not recommended to highlight how much you’ve missed them and how you can’t wait to see them because it’s been 10 years since you’ve had a coffee and discussed politics and love.
Avoid Including Unnecessary Details: Including essential travel details is important. Nonetheless, it would help if you refrain from including information that adds no value to your visa application. An excellent way to ensure that the information you’ve included is essential is to use your required documents as a reference. For example, adding that you plan to finance your trip using cash is essential. Yet, embassy authorities don’t want to know how much you plan to spend on transportation, food, clothes, and other expenses. Instead, they want to confirm that you have the financial means to support yourself for your trip.
Please Keep Your Letter Short And To The Point: I know I sound like a broken record, but including important information will help keep your letter short and to the point. As a result, authorities will have a much easier time reading through your visa letter, increasing your chances of a successful visa application.

With the final dot on your invitation letter and a deeper understanding of its significance, you’re now poised to explore Turkey’s wonders from the ancient ruins of Ephesus to the bustling streets of Istanbul.

This letter is more than just paperwork; it’s a prelude to the unforgettable experiences that await. Here’s to your journey into the heart of Turkey, where every traveler finds a piece of themselves.

Understanding the Invitation Letter for Visa Application

An Invitation Letter for a visa application is a document that the applicant's host writes to the embassy or consulate where the applicant is applying for a visitor visa.

This letter confirms that the host will accommodate the applicant in their home throughout the entire duration of their stay in the country where the host legally resides. It can be addressed either to the applicant or to the consular officer reviewing the visa application.

Requirements for Writing a Letter of Invitation

In order for the Letter of Invitation to be valid, the host must meet the following requirements:

Be a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the country the applicant plans to visit.
Have a personal relationship with the applicant, such as being a friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, or family member/relative.
Have a registered place of residence (home, flat).
Have sufficient space to accommodate the applicant.

While not all embassies require a Letter of Invitation, it is strongly recommended to submit one, even if not explicitly required.

Writing a Letter of Invitation for Visa Application

Writing a Letter of Invitation might seem daunting, but it can be the easiest part of your visa application once you understand its purpose.

The letter should be written by the host and addressed to either the applicant or the consular officer . Some embassies provide their own invitation forms, so be sure to check if they have one when you receive the visa document checklist. If a form is provided, the host only needs to fill in the required information.

However, if no specific form is provided, the following samples can be used by replacing the information according to your case.

When writing the invitation letter, it is essential to include important details about both the host and the guest. The letter should include the following information about the host:

Date of birth
Telephone number
Type of home (owned/rented house/flat/room)
Host's status in the host country (work visa, student visa, permanent resident, citizen, or any other legal status)

On the other hand, the letter should also contain the following information about the guest:

Full name as shown on their International Passport
Address and telephone number
Relationship between the host and the guest
Purpose of the trip ( friendly visit, holiday, wedding, birthday party, etc .)
Exact entry date and exit date

If the letter is addressed to the guest, it should have a more personal and friendly tone rather than sounding too formal. This helps the consular officer gain a better understanding of the relationship between the host and the guest.

Supporting Documents for the Letter of Invitation

While not required by all embassies, it is considerate to submit additional documents along with the Letter of Invitation. These documents may include:

A scanned copy of the host's ID or passport
Evidence of the host's financial support, if applicable
Proof of home ownership or rental contract
Itinerary of planned activities during the guest's stay
Documentation showing that the host has taken time off work to be with the guest, if applicable

Submission of the Invitation Letter

The guest is responsible for submitting the Letter of Invitation at the embassy or consulate along with the visa application file. The host should scan the letter and send it to the guest, who will then submit it with the other supporting documents on the day of their appointment.

If you're planning a trip to Turkey, it's important to understand the different types of visas available for travelers. Turkey offers various visa options depending on the purpose and duration of your visit. Here are some of the most common types of visas and how to obtain them:

Tourist visa: This is the most common type of visa for travelers visiting Turkey for tourism or leisure. It allows you to stay in the country for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. To obtain a tourist visa, you can apply online through the official e-Visa website of the Republic of Turkey. The process is simple and involves filling out an application form, submitting the required documents, and paying the visa fee online. Once approved, you will receive your e-Visa via email, which you need to print and carry with you during your trip.
Business visa: If you're planning to visit Turkey for business-related activities such as meetings, conferences, or trade fairs, you will need a business visa. The process to obtain a business visa is similar to that of a tourist visa. You can apply online through the e-Visa website, providing relevant information about your business activities and the organization you're representing. It's important to note that a business visa does not allow you to engage in work or employment activities in Turkey.
Student visa: If you're planning to study in Turkey, you will need a student visa. To obtain a student visa, you must first be accepted by a Turkish educational institution and receive an official acceptance letter. Once you have the acceptance letter, you can apply for a student visa at the nearest Turkish consulate or embassy in your country. The application process usually involves submitting the acceptance letter, proof of financial means to cover your expenses, and a valid passport.
Work visa: If you're planning to work in Turkey, you will need a work visa. The process to obtain a work visa is more complex and requires sponsorship from a Turkish company or employer. Your employer will need to apply for a work permit on your behalf, and once approved, you can apply for a work visa at the nearest Turkish consulate or embassy in your country. The application process usually involves submitting the work permit, a letter of invitation or employment contract, and other supporting documents.
Transit visa: If you're transiting through Turkey to reach your final destination, you may need a transit visa. However, citizens of certain countries are exempt from transit visas for short layovers. It's important to check the official website of the Republic of Turkey or consult with your airline to determine whether you require a transit visa.

Remember to check the validity of your passport before applying for a visa, as your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from Turkey. Additionally, it's essential to review and follow the visa requirements specific to your nationality, as they may vary.

Overall, obtaining a visa to travel to Turkey is a relatively straightforward process, especially with the option of applying online for most visa types. By understanding the different types of visas available and following the application guidelines, you can ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey to this beautiful country.

Sample Invitation Letter for Visitor Visa

There are various mandatory requirements to obtain a visa when visiting the United States. However, a letter of invitation from the American host is not one of them. The U.S. citizen or resident who will host the visiting B-2 visa holder may send a letter, but an invitation is not required. The letter cannot guarantee visa issuance, but it may be helpful in some situations. Many people feel more comfortable sending a letter, and we’ve provided a sample invitation letter for a visitor visa below.

Visitor Visa Requirements

B-2 visa applicants must qualify for the visitor visa according to their own circumstances, not on the basis of a sponsor’s letter or assurances. Based on the merits of the application and interview, a consular officer determines whether or not the applicant qualifies for a visa. In fact, to qualify for a B-2 visitor visa to the United States, applicants must meet the following three criteria:

Have a residence in a foreign country to which they will return to after their temporary visit;

Intend to enter the united states for a period of a specifically limited duration;, will go to the united states to engage in activities consistent with the visa., mistakes on uscis forms can cause costly delays or a denial., b-2 letter of invitation explained.

A B-2 letter of invitation is simply a letter written by the U.S. host to demonstrate that the visitor has a place to stay during the trip to the United States. Generally, the letter carries more weight if written by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. The letter should state that the host is willing and able to accommodate the visitors during the specified duration of the trip. The host may include specific dates or a general period in which the visitor is welcome. It’s also helpful to state if the host and visitor have family ties or are friends. There is no requirement for an invitation letter for visitor visa. Therefore, there are no hard requirements for the letter. With that said, a letter should generally contain the following:

Host’s full name and contact information
Guest’s full name and contact information
Guest’s relationship to the host
Purpose of the planned visit, including the event (if applicable) or places you will visit
Duration the visitor will stay with you or where you’ve made arrangements for him or her to stay
Financial arrangements to cover the guest’s expenses during the visit (if applicable)
Signature of the host

Write the letter in your own words, but try to be as specific as possible. We’ve included a sample invitation letter for a visitor visa below.

Stronger Evidence to Support a B-2 Visa Application

For visitors that are currently unemployed, don’t have property and generally lack financial assets, it can be more difficult to demonstrate strong ties to their home country. In these cases, immigration officials become concerned that they will try to stay in the United States. A Declaration of Financial Support can help remove this doubt.

Known as Form I-134, Declaration of Financial Support , the form shows that someone in the United States is willing to take financial responsibility for you. If you can prove that you are financially independent or are employed in your home country, you typically don’t need a Form I-134.

Form I-134 is a reassurance by the U.S. supporter to step in and assist if you unable to pay your expenses during the course of your U.S. visit.

Letter of invitation

Sometimes, when you apply for a visa to visit Canada, we ask you to give us a letter of invitation from someone in Canada.

A letter of invitation does not guarantee that we will issue a visa. Visa officers assess you to decide whether you meet the terms of Canada's immigration law.

Information for the person writing the letter of invitation

Writing a letter of invitation does not mean you are legally responsible for the visitor once he or she gets to Canada. You should still write the letter in good faith. You must tell the truth and plan to keep the promises you make in the letter.

Send your letter (notarized, if the visa office asks for that) to the person you are inviting to Canada. The person must then send this letter to the Canadian embassy or consulate outside of Canada when he or she applies for a temporary resident visa.

You must include this information about the person you are inviting :

complete name,
date of birth,
address and telephone number,
your relationship to the person,
the purpose of the trip,
how long the person plans to stay in Canada,
where the person will stay, and how he or she will pay for things, and
when the person plans to leave Canada.

You must include this information about yourself :

address and telephone number in Canada,
whether you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident,
a Canadian birth certificate, if you were born in Canada,
a Canadian citizenship card, if you are a naturalized citizen, or
a copy of your PR card or your IMM 1000 proof of landing, if you are a permanent resident,
details of your family, such as names and dates of birth of your spouse and dependants (this is mandatory for the parent and grandparent super visa ), and
the total number of people living in your household, including people you sponsored whose sponsorship is still in effect (this is mandatory for the parent and grandparent super visa ).

For the parent and grandparent super visa only , you must also provide:

a written and signed promise of your financial support for your parents or grandparents for their entire stay in Canada, and
proof that your income meets or is above the low-income cut-off (LICO) for the total number of people, including the visiting parents or grandparents.

This information is only a guide. You must write the letter of invitation yourself. Some visa offices may ask that a notary public notarize your letter.

Before you arrive

Thank you for your help.

You will not receive a reply. For enquiries, contact us .
