Writing an Invitation or Sponsorship Letter for a Thai Partner or Relative
If you live abroad and are inviting a Thai national to visit, the visa office will look at who you are, how you know the visitor, where they will stay, who pays and why they will return to Thailand. A clear invitation letter, signed by you and supported by your ID, proof of address and — if you are paying — financial evidence, answers those questions. Some countries require an official form (for example a formal obligation in Germany or a sponsorship form in Australia) instead of, or as well as, a letter.
We do not publish company service prices. Ask our team for a case-specific quotation; official fees remain those announced by the authority on the filing date.
What the letter should say
Keep it factual: your full name, nationality, address and status; the visitor's name and passport number; your relationship and how long you have known each other; travel dates and purpose; where they will stay; who covers costs. Avoid promises about the outcome or pressure on the officer.
- Copy of your passport or residence permit
- Proof of address and, if hosting, accommodation
- Bank statements or payslips if you sponsor costs
- Evidence of the relationship, such as photos or messages, where relevant
The visitor still needs their own ties
A strong letter cannot replace the Thai applicant's own evidence of employment, study, family or property in Thailand. We prepare both sides so they tell the same story.
How we work, step by step
- Check the country's format. We confirm whether a free letter or an official sponsor form is required.
- Draft. We draft the letter from your details for you to review and sign.
- Evidence. We list the documents you attach and check names match passports.
- Align with the applicant. We check the Thai applicant's documents tell the same dates and story.
- Submit. The applicant includes the signed letter in the visa file.
Questions we are asked most
Does the letter need to be notarised?
Usually not, but some countries ask for an official form completed at a local authority. Check the destination's rules.
Can I invite someone I met online?
Yes, but expect questions about the relationship. Honest, consistent evidence matters more than length.
Do you publish prices or guarantee the outcome?
No. We quote after looking at your documents and situation, and every decision is made by the Thai authority concerned. We will tell you plainly when we think a plan is weak.
