A letter of invitation to apply for a visa is a letter published on your behalf requesting a visa for a specific purpose from the embassy of a particular nation to which you are invited.

What is a Letter of Invitation for Visa Application Concerning Nigeria as a Country?

A letter of invitation to apply for a visa to Nigeria is a document indicating that a Nigerian or a Nigerian company registered and incorporated by the Commission on Corporate Affairs (CAC) in Nigeria is inviting you to Nigeria. It is mandatory when applying for a Nigerian visa, in addition to other requirements that you would present; you will need to present an Invitation letter with your visa application. In the letter of invitation, the host must accept all immigration responsibility especially concerning your welfare for the visitor and attach a valid Nigerian passport or a company incorporation document (CAC Certificate). It is also anticipated that the host will state obviously in the visitor’s letter of invitation, lodging agreement (or hotel booking).

 

You must attach an invitation letter to the rest of the documents in your application which you will submit at the embassy. The letter of invitation is a strong supporter of your application as the embassy will know that without a purpose you’re not just going to the country. The letter will tell you why you are going, how long you intend to stay and who you are seeing.

All invitations are not the same. But we are going to talk about the most important categories of invitation letters.

My friend, Grubb Bush’s purpose of coming to Nigeria, is to visit me. As former colleagues, while I was in her home country, our relationship developed into a beautiful friendship that we have always shared even though we have been miles apart for a while now.

I would appreciate it very much if you could grant her a visiting visa to Nigeria as I have always wanted to show my friend, Grubb Bush, the life I have built back home here in Nigeria. This will also be an opportunity for us to reconnect and for her to meet my children.

Grubb Bush will visit during the following dates: from 21 to 09/19 to 21/10/19.

Within the specified dates above when she will be in Nigeria, we will take a trip together to the magnificent Obudu Cattle Ranch and The Point of No Return in Badagry. Also, Grubb  Bush will stay at the executive suite of Providence Hotels in Calabar. I will fund the whole trip.

Please find the following documents attached:

 

Copy of Grubb Bush Passport
