Procurement of Recommendation Letters from Chamber of Commerce & Attestations

A. Why You May Need a Chamber of Commerce Recommendation Letter

For Indian nationals and businesses engaging in international travel or cross-border trade, recommendation letters from recognized Chambers of Commerce can play a crucial role in:

• Business visa applications

• Participation in foreign trade fairs, expos, and buyer-seller meets

• Export/import licensing and documentation

• Trade delegations or MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) travel

• Visa support for business-related events abroad

• Authenticating company profile for visa approvals

Embassies and consulates often require such letters to confirm the legitimacy of a business or its representatives. These letters add weight to visa applications and assure foreign authorities that the applicant has credible business standing in India.

B. Our End-to-End Services for Chamber of Commerce Recommendation & Attestation

We streamline the entire process, from drafting your request to obtaining verified letters and submitting them for required legal attestations.

1. Business/Personal Profile Assessment and Letter Drafting
Our process begins by understanding the nature of your business, the travel requirement, and the embassy's demands. Based on this, we:

• Evaluate your business documents (GST, registration, company profile, IEC, etc.)

• Draft a suitable recommendation request in the required format

• Customize the purpose of travel: business visit, meeting, exhibition, client interaction

• Ensure all details meet the embassy's checklist and your travel goals

This careful preparation increases the chances of your letter being approved without revisions or rejection.

2. Liaison with Chamber of Commerce Authorities
We have working relationships with several authorized Chambers across India—FICCI, ASSOCHAM, PHDCCI, local Chambers, and regional industry bodies. Based on your industry and location, we:

• Identify the appropriate Chamber

• Submit your documents physically or electronically

• Follow up with internal committees for letter issuance

• Obtain letters on official letterhead with signature and seal

This saves you time, especially if you're working under tight visa submission deadlines.

3. Attestation of Recommendation Letter from Relevant Authorities
After obtaining the letter, embassies often require further authentication before they accept it. We help with:

• Notary attestation

• State Chamber endorsements (where needed)

• MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) attestation

• Embassy-specific attestation for business visa categories

We handle both pre-attestation (before submission) and post-attestation (for documents already issued but not yet legalized).

4. Company Documents Attestation Services
In addition to the recommendation letter, embassies may ask for authenticated:

• Company registration certificates

• Memorandum of Association / Articles of Association

• Power of Attorney (PoA) from company directors

• GST certificate, export licenses, or ISO documentation

We prepare, notarize, and process these documents as a bundle, ensuring no gaps in your application.

5. Delegation and Trade Event Support Packages
For companies sending representatives to global expos, buyer-seller meets, or business conferences, we offer packaged solutions:

• Group recommendations from Chambers

• Invitation and participation letter management

• Visa processing for all delegates

• Coordination with foreign trade councils or event organizers

This is particularly useful for events hosted in the Middle East, Europe, ASEAN countries, and Africa.
