Good evening Sir/Madam
Am confuse I need to know somethings about invitation latter, I want to invite Ma friend to visit Nigeria next month from Australia do I need to sing the latter in any office in Nigeria because am not in Nigeria now what will I do. Thanks
All you need to do is sign the letter and send it to him. You don’t need to visit any office in Nigeria.
Please i need your help on how to write a letter to my fiancè coming from UK to nigeria i have my passport but its new one and the guy is coming september ending. If there anyway you can help me please.
Hi Adenike,
Don’t worry too much about the content of the letter. Just follow the example above and adjust as needed. The invitation letter is just a required formality. No one I know has been refused a visa because an invitation letter was not properly written.
Good morning….. Pls after d signing and all do we need to take it to d immigration office and get a stamp like in unison that they agree to let d person come…… Pls reply asap thanks
were do i send the letter to, and how do i get it signed
Hi Joses,
You send the letter to your guest.
Hi Dems… But there was a place you said that one can make the invitation even without the international passport number…now you are saying something about using another person’s own… How?
When sending an invitation letter to your fiance do you send it to her country embassy after sending to her?
No Fabinu,
Just send it to her. The embassy would not have any way to file the letter against your fiance file.
So once again, just send the invitation letter to her.
This was indeed helpful, thanks! But someone mentioned it will be addressed to the embassy. Should it? And one more thing, do I mail it or send through courier services?
Pls I need sample for fiancé from states which will be coming for introduction
Good one, kindly help with more details my fiancee is visiting from Kenya by November this year
Pls i need a sample for a fiancé visiting from US on November. And pls where can I get it signed? I need this ASAP. Thanks

ANSELEM
Please if I don’t have any Nigeria international passport, can I send someone letter of invitation, and will I register it at embassy?
Yes you can if you are a Nigerian
Can the letter be hand written,
It’s better if it is typed. I am yet to see a handwritten one refused though. So if you absolutely cannot get it typed, maybe a handwritten letter will be accepted. Here is my advice though. Get it typewritten.
but, how do i do it
Broz pls I urgently need your advice here…
My female friend will be visiting me from the us for 2 weeks..i just graduated & awaiting nysc, no job yet, she will be footing the hotel bills, I don’t have a passport…can I still write an invitation letter without me having a passport?
yes, you can. Do you have any id?
I have my voters card & school id card only
do I need any authorization to send an invitation to my girlfriend in the states?
no
Thanks for your helpful guidelines and counselling. pls, haven written a letter of invitation to invite a friend or fiance as advised so far, what other necessary step is required before the friend starts coming? (e.g; submission or whatever)
Hi Danny,
Send the invitation letter to your friend. They will take it to the Nigerian Embassy in their country to apply for a visa.
will i send the invitation letter through email?
Yes Jennifer!
You will print the letter, sign it, scan the signed letter and send it via email.
Good day, I’am an American visiting my girlfriend in Nigeria and we were concerned if she should put “friend “or “boyfriend” in the invitation letter. Would the application be turned down by the visa officer because of the word boyfriend or does she keep it formal and use friend? Thank you.
Hi Kevin,
“Friend” is alright.
Good day, thanks for ur helpful guidelines. please, I don’t have international passport as required, can I use my National I’d? and again, how do I sign on the invitation letter? am i to write and print it out then sign it, then send it to her? pls I need to know. thnks
You may use your national id but the requirement is that you scan a photocopy of your biodata page

https://www.sampleinvitationletter.info/invitation-letter-for-us-visa-b2-tourist.php
pls sir. though which means do i send the letter to reach me friend ?
Good morning Sir/Ma’am…
Please i need help on how to sent my fiancee a letter of invitation to visit me here in Nigeria, where can i sign and sign the LETTER or which office / individual personnel is to place the signing on the letter.
Secondly: I’m 31 years old, can i sent the invitation letter my self or look for someone who is older in age to write the letter for me.
Thirdly: most the bank statement of account bear my name as the host or different name.
You sign the letter yourself. Scan it and send it her. Age is not an issue if you have an international passport.
