Thank U chief, I will also like to know if der is any document that comes with the invitation letter, E.g biometric page of d passport of d person sendin it, I'd card, SSN and some other vital information.. Another tin I wan to know is, is it only citizen that can send the invitation letter. Thank U
Sure, there should be some documents that actually verified who the inviting person claims to be.
In Europe and America etc, invitation aren't done by citizens only, a person with legal status can invite someone. I don't know about Asia etc

Bank statement is not necessary if the inviting person is not financially responsible for the cost of the trip (or a part of it).

If it does not carry stamps, or seals, or security marks, or any other kind of authentication, then it is ok to scan or fax or photocopy

Hello,

An uncle has decided to sponsor my education and is providing statement of accounts which belong to his company as evidence he can support me. I am a bit stumped as to whether he can use these statements seeing as I don't work for him and my trip is of no benefit to his company. If it is a sole proprietorship, can he prove ownership and this passes as him being able to withdraw as he pleases? Thank you.

From your question your partial answer, i can see that you seem to have read my other thread in this link:
https://www.nairaland.com/967110/main-reasons-many-refused-visas
and you apparently know the answer to your own question, so now, do you want me to re-write something that you have already read?
Re: How To Write Invitation Letters by AllBusiness(m): 10:01pm On Apr 14, 2016
Vicjustice:
   For those of you who often wonder and ask "How Invitation Letter Should Look Like" I've decided to create this thread with some (self composed) samples of Letters Of Invitation.
   Know that there is no standard composition or grammars required, but yet, the letter must include the basic guidelines essential to sufficiently Identify, Introduce, Describe, Persuade and Guarantee on both parties.
   Also, it is important to know who the appropriate person to receive the invitation letter is: I'm making this emphasis because, a lot of people often make serious mistakes and are ignorantly sending Invitation Letters directly to Embassies or ECOs, and such letters usually fall short of their objectives as they are often unaccounted for. So, to make it further clear, the Invitation Letter (along with other supporting documents, if any) should be submitted by the Visa Applicant while addressed to the ECO.
   Now, there's no need to write a story or an essay, these are examples of how Invitation Letter may be like:

Hello Vicjustice,

Is it possible to write a letter of accommodation for my biological when i am not inviting him. He just renewed his South Africa visa and wish to visit me in Ireland and then head to South Africa and back to lagos. He's working full time and has enough money to sponsor himself, but i and him concluded he shouldn't use hotel reservation because there is an option in the online application form where he will be asked if he know anyone here and there is no reason why he should lie by saying no, so he need to say yes, which is me, but i i'm not inviting him because i am not in a position to sponsor him. I am not working at the moment, but is it okay for me to offer him only accommodation letter with copy of my residency?

You have to invite him for him to stay in your property (whether rented or owned), he would be refused without invitation as it not logical for him to stay in your property without invitation.
Note that invitation does not mean that you have to be financially responsible for him, it just means that you are consenting to accountability for (his) coming into the country: it is allowed to invite a person without letting him stay in your property, but it is illogical to let a person stay in your property without invitation: he would be refused.

Thank you Victjusice, i actually don't want to invite him for now for personal reason and he's aware about my reason. However, can he still use paid hotel during his stay? But my fear is they will see it on his application form that he claim he know someone in Ireland and our surname will definitely match. Even if he say he did not know anyone in Ireland, they may search the surname and will definitely bring out my surname to match his. Not sure if he can use hotel and at the same time claim he know someone here, but won't they say why can't he stay with the person he claim he know?

Thank you.

In my previous reply, i went further to explain the scenarios, even answering this (follow-up) question in advance.
Well, if you are not inviting him, then, he can not officially state that he is staying with you.
Now, the fact that he has a relative in Ireland does not mean that he must stay with the relative: it is allowed for him to stay in a hotel or any where else. If you care so much about him staying in your property, then, let him stay unofficially.

You are trying to make something that is simple very complicated.

Yes he knows someone, (you) But that does not mean that he MUST stay with you or even visit you!
He knows someone there, (give details.) Honest answer.
He is staying in a hotel (give details) because the person is busy. Honest answer.
Have details of what he intends to do, places to visit.

I thought i explained such in the opening post.
Simply address the letter to the authority that demands for it or to the embassy in which their visa application are to be made, and compose the letter as i sampled in the opening post.

Hi Vicjustice,
I have my mum's brother who wants to invite me to the UK. As my uncle we do not have the same surname. Do I need to provide any proof of relationship or we could just go ahead with his deeds and council bill and statement of account as well as the invitation letter?
Also I would like to ask how long it takes to get a UK visa in Nigeria.
Thank you for your kind responses so far. I have been reading.
