How to Write a Visa Invitation Letter for Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600)

Writing an invitation letter for Australian visa or any country can be quite challenging. What is most important is to ensure that all the required information is in the letter. There is no specific method or style once all the required information is visible in the letter. The Australian Consulate or Embassy requires this letter.

In summary, the following should be on the invitation letter.

Your letter must include the following information about the person being invited:

  • Complete name.
  • Date of birth.
  • The person’s address and telephone number.
  • Your relationship to the person being invited.
  • The purpose of the trip.
  • How long the person you are inviting intends to stay in Australia.
  • Details on accommodation and living expenses.
  • The date the person you are inviting intends to leave Australia.

Your letter must also include the following information about the person writing the letter:

  • Complete name.
  • Date of birth.
  • Address and telephone number in Australia.
  • Occupation in Australia.
  • Your status in Australia
  • A photocopy of documents proving your status in Australia and financial Status.
