• Date of the cover letter.
• Short introduction and travel purpose.
• Visa type and trip dates.
• Accommodation names and addresses where relevant.
• Applicant contact details and passport number.
• Signature and full name.
• Occupation and employment length may be helpful where relevant, but only include what the application requests or supports.
