A letter of invitation is a formal document written by a UK resident or organisation inviting an individual to visit or live in the United Kingdom for a specific purpose. This might relate to work, a family reunion or a relationship.
It is often referred to as a sponsorship letter, as the person writing the letter must be willing to take responsibility for the recipient’s accommodation.
Other types of letters facilitating a move to the UK include:
- Business invitation letter
- School or University invitation letter
- Hospital invitation letter
Notarising these letters adds credibility and validity. The process is often required by immigration authorities during your visa application.
