About this document
An invitation letter is written by a host to support a visitor's visa application. It says who the host is, who they are inviting, their relationship, the purpose and dates of the visit, where the visitor will stay, who is paying for what and what is attached.
This blank form is a letter to complete by hand and sign. A letter does not guarantee a visa, and what a consulate or immigration authority asks for varies by country and visa type. Check the authority's own requirements, and ask a lawyer if the application is complicated.

Questions
About the invitation letter for a visa
No. It supports an application. The decision is the authority's, and it makes its own checks.
