If your\u00a0family or friends coming from out of China want to visit you,\u00a0<\/strong>an invitation letter is required to apply for a tourist visa at their local Chinese consulate.<\/p>\n

What is\u00a0Visa<\/a>\u00a0Invitation Letter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A visa invitation letter is a letter that a person who plans to visit someone currently residing in China must present along with other supporting documents in order to apply for their tourist visa. This letter must be written by the host in China. Do note that\u00a0the invitation letter is different from an\u00a0invitation to a social<\/a> event in China because it contains immigration details that are\u00a0not required<\/a> in the social invitation letter.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Sample\u00a0of a Visa Invitation Letter Important Data<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

All visa invitation letters for must contain a certain amount of basic information. As the host (the person inviting and receiving guest), your responsibility is to ensure that this\u00a0these basic information\u00a0about your guest and their trip is included in the letter. Below is a\u00a0list of the information that should include in any letter; although most visa officers or\u00a0consulars\u00a0would not require every single detail on this list to be added to the letter, I suggest you include them all so that your guest may apply for their visa worry-free.<\/p>\n
