Letter of invitation for Schengen Visa applications

Posted date: 18 Dec 2020

You have to take several things into account when you are making arrangements to fly to another foreign country. Starting with whether and for how long you will be allowed to join the country where you will be living. If you come from a country that doesn't have a lot of international freedom of travel, then you will most likely need a visa. For several non-EU nationals who wish to join the EU or the Schengen Region, this is the case. To enter any of the participating countries, these citizens will need a Schengen visa. But it's a long process to get a visa, and as an applicant, you will need several paperwork and measures to get it.

However, one of the most important things you have to prove is that you are not going to remain illegally in any of the countries in the Schengen region. Because of this, it is extremely helpful to have an invitation letter for the Schengen visa and it will support the application a lot. A letter of invitation for a visa is a written letter from the person you are visiting who lives in the Schengen country to whom you would like to travel. The person you are visiting invites you to stay with them and they promise that you will not live illegally in the country by default.

 The letter of invitation must be attached to the rest of the documents found in your application, which you will send to the Embassy. The letter of invitation is a strong supporter of your application since you are not only going to the country without a reason, the Embassy will know. The letter is going to tell them why you are going and who you are seeing.

Because you would like to fly to a Schengen-area country for many reasons, there are also many forms of letters of invitation. In order to show that what is written in the letter is valid, each kind of invitation letter would also require additional supporting documentation. The Embassies are very clear about this and, without documentation supporting their claims; they would not take into account an inviting message. If you are going to study at a university or a college in the Schengen region, you have to prove that. The organization you will attend must give you an acceptance letter encouraging you to join them in order to do so. All the specifics of your stay there must be in the letter, including your major, the length of your studies, how the studies will be supported, where you will stay, and so on. Thus, adding the invitation letter to the rest of the documents in your application is very important.
