Crafting an Invitation Letter
A strong supporting document is an invitation letter addressed to UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI). This letter acts as a personal endorsement and should include:
- The planned duration of their stay
- Their living arrangements in Nepal
- Confirmation of their accommodation during their stay in the UK
Additional Supporting Documents
To enhance the credibility of the invitation, you should provide a photocopy of your current passport. If your cousin plans to stay with you, including proof of your address, such as a utility bill, can further support their application. These documents reassure the visa caseworker that your cousin is a genuine visitor.

Importance of the Invitation Letter
While not mandatory, an invitation letter and supplementary documentation can significantly strengthen a visa application. However, it’s important to note that providing these documents does not guarantee visa approval. The success of the application depends on meeting all the established requirements for the visitor visa.
By preparing thoroughly and ensuring all necessary documents are in order, you can help pave the way for your loved one’s visit to the UK. This thoughtful approach not only enhances the application but also demonstrates your commitment to hosting a genuine visitor.
