Subject: Family Invitation Letter for Chinese Tourist Visa (Turkish Citizens, Family Group)

Hello,

We are planning a family trip to China and need an official invitation letter with a complete travel itinerary for our individual tourist (L) visa application. We are Turkish citizens applying at the Chinese Visa Application Service Center in Bangkok.

To be clear: we need an invitation letter for our own family as our own independent travel party — not combined with other, unrelated travelers into a group visa (we already ran into this issue with another provider, where they tried to combine my husband with 4 strangers to reach the minimum for a Chinese group visa, which does not work for our family since a group visa requires the whole group to enter and exit China together).

We do not want to book a full guided tour for the entire trip — only a small/short service (e.g., one hotel booking or a short local tour), and we need the official invitation letter to cover our full itinerary (all cities and dates), issued specifically for our family.

Sorry, in this case for a group L visa, you do need an invitation letter from a travel agency. And normally agencies only offer invitation letters for their confirmed guests.
