[Documentation index](../llms.txt)

Represents a join request sent to a chat.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| chat | [Chat](chat.md) | Chat to which the request was sent |
| from | [User](user.md) | User that sent the join request |
| user\_chat\_id | Integer | Identifier of a private chat with the user who sent the join request. This number may have more than 32 significant bits and some programming languages may have difficulty/silent defects in interpreting it. But it has at most 52 significant bits, so a 64-bit integer or double-precision float type are safe for storing this identifier. The bot can use this identifier for 5 minutes to send messages until the join request is processed, assuming no other administrator contacted the user. |
| date | Integer | Date the request was sent in Unix time |
| bio | String | *Optional*. Bio of the user |
| invite\_link | [ChatInviteLink](chatinvitelink.md) | *Optional*. Chat invite link that was used by the user to send the join request |
| query\_id | String | *Optional*. Identifier of the join request query; for bots assigned to process join requests only. If present, then the bot must call [sendChatJoinRequestWebApp](sendchatjoinrequestwebapp.md) or directly call [answerChatJoinRequestQuery](answerchatjoinrequestquery.md) within 10 seconds. |
