Visa Invitation Letter Template and Practical Guide

01
Procedure for Issuing a Visa Invitation Letter
A visa invitation letter for Korean business visitors to Bangladesh is typically issued by KOTRA Dhaka or a local partner company. The document should state the purpose of the visit, intended duration of stay, the inviting organization, and the visitor's passport details. It is generally treated as an essential supporting document for visa applications submitted to the Embassy of Bangladesh in Seoul.
02
Required Items to Include
The invitation letter should include: 1) the visitor's full name exactly as shown in the passport, 2) passport number and validity period, 3) purpose of visit such as business meetings, exhibitions, or factory inspections, 4) planned duration of stay including expected entry and departure dates, 5) details of the inviting institution including company name, address, contact information, and business registration number, and 6) accommodation information.
03
Visa Types and Processing Time
A business visa can be issued for single entry or multiple entries. Standard processing generally takes 7 to 10 days, while urgent processing may take 3 to 5 days, subject to embassy practice. Applications are handled by the Embassy of Bangladesh in Seoul. Visa on Arrival may be available in some cases, but obtaining a visa in advance is generally more reliable for business travel.
04
KOTRA Support Services
KOTRA Dhaka can support Korean firms with invitation letter facilitation, airport pickup coordination, accommodation support, and buyer meeting arrangements through a one-stop business trip assistance package. Requesting support at least two weeks before travel helps ensure more structured preparation.
