Employment Letter for Visa: Verification Letter Template & Sample

What is an employment verification letter for a visa?

An employment verification letter (or employment letter) for a visa is a letter from your employer that confirms your job title, salary, length of employment, and often your leave dates. Embassies use it to verify that you have a job to return to and that your income supports your trip.

What to include

• Company letterhead and contact details.

• Your full name, job title, and start date.

• Salary or income (often optional but helpful).

• Dates of approved leave (if applicable).

• Confirmation that you are expected to return to work.

• Signature, name, and title of the signatory, and date.

Example (excerpt)

This is to confirm that [Name] is employed by [Company] as [Job title] since [date]. [Name]’s annual salary is [amount]. [Name] has been granted leave from [date] to [date] and is expected to return to work on [date]. We have no objection to [Name]’s travel during this period.
