What Is an Immigration Invitation Letter?
If a person plans to visit a foreign country for an extended period of time through a tourist visa, the country they intend to visit may require them to complete an Immigration Letter of Invitation alongside the visa application. Such a letter will show what their plans are when they arrive in the country, how long they intend to stay, and how you plan to accommodate them at your residence during their stay. Since you will be hosting the immigrant during their stay, you will need to complete the letter for them.
An invitation letter for immigration is often an additional step a country uses to assess who is coming into the country legally to help reduce the chance of someone visiting who plans to overstay their visa. Also, it is important to note that completing an immigration invitation letter is not a guarantee that their visa will be approved and you will still need to review all the steps for a visa application on your country's visa website.

How to Write an Invitation Letter for Immigration?
To write an Immigration Invitation Letter, you will need to include information about the immigrant such as:
- Today's date;
- Name of the guest who is staying with you;
- The guest's date of birth;
- Address and phone number of the guest;
- How you are related to the immigrant who will be visiting (are they a friend or family). You will want to give a clear explanation of your relationship to the person, such as are they a friend from school, a member of your family, or a colleague from a past or present place of work. A well-defined explanation will show the visa officer reading the letter how you know this person and that your guest will not be an attempt to stay past their visa expiration date;
- What is the purpose of your guest's trip and how long they plan to stay with you;
- Explain where your guest will stay (such as your home or another place of residence);

You will also need to include the following information about yourself as the host, such as:
