Document background
An Invitation Letter for Visitor Visa is a crucial document required by Indian immigration authorities for processing visitor visa applications. This document is necessary when a foreign national plans to visit India for tourism, family visits, business meetings, or other short-term purposes. The letter serves as a formal guarantee from an Indian resident or organization, confirming their willingness to host the visitor and often taking responsibility for their stay. Under Indian jurisdiction, this document must comply with guidelines set by the Ministry of Home Affairs and typically includes detailed information about both the host and visitor, purpose and duration of visit, accommodation arrangements, and financial responsibilities. The letter forms part of the official visa application process and may be scrutinized by both embassy officials during visa processing and immigration officers upon entry into India.
