If you need a travel letter for a business trip or to support your visa application, you can request one through the Requests tab on the Remote platform. Here’s how it works:

  1. Go to the Requests tab and click New request.
  2. From the list of request types, select Travel letter and click Continue.
  3. Complete the required fields with details about your travel, including:

    • Destination: Where you’ll be traveling.
    • Purpose: Why you’re traveling.
    • Travel dates: When you’ll be traveling.
    • Visit details: Information about the individuals or organizations you’ll be meeting, including their names or positions and the locations you’ll visit.
    • Specifics for certain sites: If you plan to visit locations such as a manufacturing unit, construction site, research lab, or heavy machinery workplace, be sure to mention this in your request.
    • Embassy information: Specify the embassy or visa authority you’ll be sharing this letter with.
  4. Once you’ve completed these fields, click Submit request.
  5. Your request will be sent to your manager for approval and once approved, we will start processing your travel letter.
  6. When your travel letter is ready, it will be uploaded to your Documents tab, and you’ll receive a notification.

Important: Timing your request

Please submit your travel letter request at least two weeks before your scheduled embassy appointment or travel start date (whichever comes first). This helps us review any compliance requirements, such as social security coverage for cross-border travel.
