If you have a sponsor – explain your personal relationship with your sponsor and the
reason why they will be sponsoring your trip

speciHc Embassy
If you cannot submit any of the required documents, write about the reasons why
you cannot submit and explain alternative documents that you may have submitted
Your intent to return to your home country – you can also write a separate letter of
intent to explain your rootedness to your home country
It is important to write a cover letter as a way of communication with the embassy oLcer
that will/is going to process your visa application.
Especially, now that a lot of the Embassies use the VFS services to collect documents
and deliver the applicant’s passport, you have no chances given to speak to the visa
oLcers and explain your details. As the visa oLcers make their decisions based on the
documents you provide, it is highly recommended to write a cover letter that would do the
explaining for you.
Therefore, write a compelling cover letter even though it is not to be found on the list of
required documents!
Make sure your cover letter is written according to your travel purpose, such as: Business,
Health, Visit, etc.
