If you are an employer or head an educational institution, then you will be issuing Introductory Letters for your employees or students from time to time when they express interest in taking a vacation abroad.
In this article, Jetsanza.com explains what goes into an Introductory Letter and samples to guide you further.
Introductory Letter for students to support visa application
Students applying for visas are to prove that they are still in school and including Student ID in the application isn’t enough to show that one is a continuing student. Introductory Letter from the school is the only document that can serve as evidence that one is still in school.
The Letter of Introduction from school must be addressed to the Visa Section of the Embassy concerned.
An Introductory Letter from an educational institution to support a student’s visa application must include but not limited to the following:
- Student’s name
- Student’s ID number, Passport Number or Date of birth
- Student’s program of studies
- Student’s level/class/year
- Why the school has no problem with the student’s travel (usually because the school will be on vacation)
- Contact details of the school (usually if different from what’s on the letterhead)
- Name, signature and position of the person responsible for issuing such letters
