有谁知道怎么给外国人发邀请函以及需要提供其他什么材料方便其办签证来中国!急切等待回答!谢谢

Question

我男朋友的姐姐暑假要从土耳其过来看我,但是现在就签证问题有点棘手.,请问我需要寄些什么资料给她?方便她在土耳其办签证过来

Answer 1

和你有关的部分：（因为你需要进行公证，公证处会有邀请函样本）
Visa L: 申请人为家庭或者其它私人访问，要求有邀请人的中国配偶的婚姻证明. 访问其他中国亲戚的，要由中国国内亲属的邀请函，同时要由公证机关对这种亲属关系进行公证。 如果是访问在中国学习或者工作的外国人，要有邀请人的签名邀请函，同时要有邀请人公司或者学校的证明信,并且有邀请人中国居民证的复印件。上述文件可能要中国外交部确认。签证申请人的旅行费用需有证明。
注：申请L签证，用以观光旅游者将被拒签。只有5人或者5人以上旅游团通过旅行社方可。
