Thư mời xin thị thực du lịch đến Úc

As an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you may wish to invite family members or friends to visit you. In such cases, they will generally need a tourist visa (subclass 600) to enter the country, and a supporting part of the visa application can be an invitation letter from you. This article outlines the purpose of an invitation letter for a tourist visa and the general principles to consider.

Purpose of an Invitation Letter

The invitation letter is a document you write confirming the genuine intention of a family member or friend to visit Australia temporarily. Australian immigration laws are strict, and all applications are assessed rigorously to ensure the integrity of the visa system.

The Department of Home Affairs thoroughly vets applicants to understand their reasons for entering Australia, whether through a tourist visa or a skilled visa for permanent residency. While not mandatory, an invitation letter can help demonstrate the applicant’s genuine intent and support their stated purpose of travel.

A well-prepared invitation letter can help to provide context on:

• The nature of the relationship between the person inviting and the applicant, such as a family member or friend.
• The applicant's reason for visiting the country.
• The intended travel dates of their stay in Australia.
• Assurances that the applicant has suitable accommodation arranged during their stay.
• Confirmation of whether the applicant has sufficient funds for the visit, or if you are providing them with financial support.
• The intention for the visitor to leave Australia and return to their home country at the end of their visit.

These details explain why an invitation letter can be a useful supporting document in a tourist visa application. It may assist the Department in assessing the applicant's intent to visit Australia genuinely.

Given its potential value in supporting a visa application, it should be prepared with clear and accurate information. It is important to ensure the letter clearly specifies the visit's purpose, duration, and financial arrangements. All contact and identity details should be correct and consistent with supporting documentation. The Department expects complete transparency about financial responsibility for the visit, so it is important to outline who will cover the visitor's expenses. Finally, the letter typically includes a formal declaration that the information provided is accurate and that the visitor intends to return home after their visit.

Information Commonly Included in an Invitation Letter

A useful invitation letter provides key information about both the visitor and the person inviting them. It should establish the host's legal status in Australia and provide relevant details about the visitor. The letter must also clearly state the visitor's purpose, such as a family reunion or vacation, including information about their planned activities and accommodation. It is also necessary to include precise details about the visitor's intended length of stay, including their planned arrival and departure dates.

It is important to attach relevant documents that support the information in the invitation letter. These documents substantiate the visitor’s stated purpose of travel and assist the Department in conducting its assessment. Commonly provided documents include proof of the host's identity and status in Australia, evidence of the relationship between the host and the visitor, and details supporting the financial and accommodation arrangements for the trip.

Providing relevant supporting documentation may help reduce delays and support a thorough assessment by the Department. Before the letter is submitted, it is crucial to ensure that all attached supporting documents are relevant and up-to-date.

However, writing a convincing invitation letter can be challenging, especially if you are new to the process. The invitation letter and supporting documents must accurately reflect both the inviter’s legal status and the visitor’s purpose of travel.
