What is an invitation letter for US business visa applications?

An invitation letter for a business visa (also known as a sponsorship or visa invitation letter) is a document that the inviting firm sends to the visa consulate on behalf of the invitee (or an employee representing the inviting company) to award the visa.
A well-defined invitation letter should include travel dates, a travel agenda, where the invitee will be entertained, and the itinerary of the trip.

Note: All invitation letters must be prepared from the perspective of the inviting company, not the invited person. It must seem as if the host is speaking with the embassy on behalf of the application.

An invitation letter can also serve as a sponsorship letter, as long as it explicitly states who is liable for travel expenses (e.g., flights, hotel, accommodation), whether the invited or invited company.

FlightGen invitation letters can serve as sponsorship letters on their own.

To provide an invitation letter for a business visa, the host should include:

  • Must be legally registered in the host country.
  • Must be written on company letterhead and signed on behalf of the company.
  • Must mention the legal address of the company.
  • Must indicate the address where the invitee will be occupied.
