If you have family or friends who wish to visit you in Spain from a country that requires a visa, they may need an invitation letter to justify their stay. This document, which can be processed at our notary office in Barcelona, is essential to demonstrate the relationship between the host and the visitor, as well as the guarantee of accommodation during the trip. In this article, we will explain the requirements for an invitation letter that you should consider before proceeding with the process.
It is important that you know that currently invitation minutes are also known as economic responsibility minutes.
