Visitor Visa for friend

[Sisam]

Hi,
I have a close friend who want to come to visit us this summer and want me to send an invitation letter.
when I am writing the invitation letter I will make sure to mention that he will stay with us but will be responsible for his own expenses or any other cost he will incur during the trip.
will I still be held responsible in case if he is unable to pay or leave in time.
Do I have any responsibility in that case, I know I am writing the letter in good faith and I trust the person but will I be held responsible in any way.

No. The invitation letter is not legally enforceable nor binding

Thanks for the information!
Then what is the purpose of invitation letter

Then what is the purpose of invitation letter

To establish a genuine purpose of visit (to meet you) + to state the extent of the support your friend will have when he visits (you will provide accommodation = He doesn't need to pay for hotels)
