Frequently asked questions
How is the invitation arranged?
The procedure varies by country: in some places the invitation is registered with a government office, in others a simple letter is enough. We give your host written instructions on what to do.
Do we have to be related?
No. An invitation from a friend is accepted too. In that case anything that evidences the friendship helps — previous visits, correspondence, photographs together.
Can my host cover the costs?
Yes, most countries have a formal procedure for this. Even so, you may still be asked for documents about your own finances.
What do I need if I am travelling with a child?
A child needs their own set of papers: a birth certificate, the notarised consent of the other parent if they are not travelling, and their own application form.
