Hi everyone my wife and I have just started year 3 of our OX visa. We have a friend from England living in Singapore that has asked me if I could write a letter of invitation for them to apply for a 6 month visa. Not sure what to do I want to help but not put my visa at risk by not being completely correct with the reason. Secondly is the visa number used as a residents number thanks in advance

For the purpose of a tourist visa, it's no big deal.

Has no effect on you, they only want to to know where they will stay.

They could also just use a hotel booking.
