间为随到随办，3-5分钟；外
侨办的办理时间一般为3个工作日。外侨办办理好签证通知后，将
电话通知“联系人”去金华取。
如何填写签证中的申请表呢？
在邀请外国人来华签证申报表中：
“被邀请人情况”栏必须打印。被邀请人“国籍”和下面的“签证地”须
用英语填写。
外商系首次来华时，“来华事由”栏要详细填写有关该公司的性质、
经营范围
等情况，以及如何与该公司结识的，本次来访的主要目的
等内容。对于办理二次和半年多次往返的申报，
“来华事由”栏要写
明最近半年来华共有多少次和本次要申请多次往返的充分理由。
“邀请单位担保意见”内容大致如下：
兹有我公司****国客商******（护照号码

乌进行合法正当的商务活动，停留时间为**天，我公司担保客

期间不产生违反法律的行为。
“在华停留天数”最长为25天。
对于“签证地”与“国籍”不一致的客商，要求在每一份材料中附上该
客商在“签证地”之国
的居留证复印件，并注明“这是某某在某地的居
留证。”，由邀请单位盖上公章。

各种附件不可以使用感应传真纸，感应传真纸上的内容必须经复印
后，方可使用。
各企业邀请外商来华，由各企业外事专办员到义乌外侨办办理。
以上小小资料，供参考！
一般邀请函有国外客户要来参观公司索要,还有政府邀请
函是政府邀
请一些人士进行政治活动所发出的信,一般来说，公司的邀请函就可
以让客户办visa了。至于那些要你出据地方政府有关签证的, 就不
要理他了.
办了邀请函后,你公司要对他在中国的不法事情付有相应的
法律责任.
办理的步骤是：准备客户的营业执照复印件一份和护照的第一页
你们公司要准备：
营业执照复印件一份
申请报告一份
证明双方交流的信函2-3封
入境申请表2份
这是我找到的一份短小的邀请函,你们也可以有自己的风格,邀请函没
有太具体的格式的.

very much
he enjoys having him for a [roommate teammate].

him from hearing
so much about him.
i

to meet
[wang hui’s mother]! thank you so much
for asking me.
truly yours
亲爱的[王华]:

[鲍勃]经常向我提起[
王晖]，并经常谈到与他[同住一室为队友]是多
么愉快。虽然我还没有见过他，但因为听到有关他的事
情多，好像
已经认识他了。
我相信，同[王晖的妈妈]相会一定会使人非常愉快，
非常感谢您的邀请。

谢绝不相识的人的邀请 apologizing for being unable to accept
an invitation
dear [mrs. brown]:
i have heard so much about [lambert] from
[jane] that i almost
feel as though i knew
him. i would certainly enjoy meeting his
mother!
but unfortunately i expect
guests myself on [friday, the
seventh of may];
and therefore cannot accept your invitation
for luncheon on that day.
it was
thoughtful of you to invite me, and i am extremely
sorry
i cannot accept, i do hope you will ask
me again some time!
sincerely yours,
亲爱的[布朗]:
我已经从[简]那里知道了许多关于[兰伯特
]的事，我好像已经认识他
似的，能够去见他母亲我当然觉得十分荣幸！
但是很不凑巧:在[5月7日（星期五）]我自己要招待客人，
因此就
不能接受您在那天的午宴邀请了。
承您如此热情地相约，恰巧因事不能前往，深表歉意，但愿以后能
再次荣获您的邀请。
3. 对迟复邀请表示歉意apologizing for being unable to
