Letter of explanation (LOE)

[TimsEli]

Does anyone have an idea on the format of a LOE?

Should an LOE be notarized?

No need to notarized an LOE.

It is simply a letter addressing to visa officer including subject and explanation. add few details about yourself too e.g. your name, application number, passport number etc.

Hi @can_indian,

Can you please share the format of LOE that specifies the different sections under which the info is to be specified.

Can the LoE be hand-written? Is it advisable to do so?

Also, whom do we address the letter to?
==> Honourable Consul OR The Visa Officer?

Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

There is no prescribed format. I would rather prefer typed than hand-written. You don't need to sign it or such. Its just an additional document which you are providing in order to support your application. Am sure every individual will have their own way of formatting.
I just had a title which is Letter Of Explanation, followed by the sub-title which would be the issue I want to address. I had one LOE, with multiple such sub-titles, one after the other. What matters is that you clearly explain with all relevant facts and evidence.
