Hotel booking proves accommodation during your trip. Like flight tickets, embassies want confirmation but don't expect non-refundable payment before visa approval.

Send us the letter before you submit it.
A licensed consultant will check it against every point above — what is missing, whether the dates agree with the rest of your file, and whether the contact details would survive a verification call. If it is already fine, we will tell you that.
Ready when you are
The template is free. The checking is what you are missing.
Everything above costs you nothing, and you are welcome to it. What a template cannot do is read itself against the rest of your file — and that is where applications actually fail: a date that does not match the ticket, a salary that does not match the bank statement, a signatory the company cannot verify on a call. You are about to spend an embassy fee, a visa-centre fee and a trip on this application. Having a licensed consultant read the paperwork first costs a fraction of any one of them.
