Dear Immigration Officer,

Good day! I am _____(name), holding a New Zealand citizenship, and a resident of _________(city/location). I have been working as a _____(job title) at _____(company name) for six years.

I am writing this letter to request that you grant a tourist visa for my brother ______(name). He resides in India and his passport number is ______. I am inviting him to visit me for a month. I have been facing depression for a few days due to my husband’s sudden demise last month. I believe that if I have my family’s support with me, I will be able to get back to my normal life and recover from this critical condition soon. My brother already bought a round-trip ticket. His details including his flights are attached to this letter.

He will be staying with me and he will shoulder all his expenses for food, transportation, and other allowances. I have attached certified copies of my accommodation and other documentation as evidence. During his stay, I will take the responsibility of educating him about the culture and laws in this country. I will also ensure that he will be following his departure date.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Regards,
