Travel, visa & consent letters

Travel and visa letters - parental consent for a child, an invitation or a sponsorship letter - support a visa or a border check by showing who is travelling, with whom, for how long and who pays.

How to write travel, visa & consent letters

  1. Name the traveller with passport details, and the person who gives the consent or invitation.
  2. State the destination, the dates and who the traveller will stay or travel with.
  3. Give your contact details so officers can verify the letter, and attach copies of passports or IDs.
  4. Sign the letter. For a child's consent many countries also ask for a notarised copy - check the embassy's rules.

When to use one

  • Child travelling with one parent or a relative
  • Inviting family or business guests
  • Sponsoring a visa or showing accommodation

FAQ

Do I need a consent letter when my child travels?

Many countries ask for written consent when a child travels without both parents. Airlines and border officers may check it, and some require a notarised copy.

What should an invitation letter contain?

Your full details and status in the country, the guest's passport details, the dates and purpose of the visit, where they will stay and who pays, and a promise that they will leave on time.

Do embassies accept templates?

Embassies accept any clear letter that has the required facts, signed and dated. Some also ask for supporting documents and notarisation.

These templates are drafting aids, not legal advice - check the formalities that apply to you.
