Invitation letter sample for tourist visa

An invitation letter for a visa is written by your host in the destination country. It confirms that they are inviting you, the dates of your stay, where you will stay, and often that they will support you financially or with accommodation. Many embassies require this for visitor, family, or business visas when you have a host.

What the host should include

  • Full name, address, and contact details of the host.

  • Full name and passport number of the guest.

  • Relationship between host and guest.

  • Dates of the visit and where the guest will stay.

  • A clear statement that the host is inviting the guest and will provide accommodation (and support if applicable).
