Spain is one of the most visited countries by tourists, thanks to its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes. However, for some visitors, it is necessary to have an Invitation Letter. This document can be essential to ensure a smooth entry into the country. Below, we answer some key questions about this important document. 

What is the Invitation Letter for entering Spain?
