Spanish term or phrase: aval (ver contexto)
Hola colegas!
Para invitar a alguien a visitar otro país, la persona/empresa del país invitante debe mandar una carta al Consulado del país donde vive el invitado, con una cantidad de datos. Uno de ellos es el carácter de la persona/empresa invitante respecto del invitado. Por eso mi inquietud con este término.

Tengo el agrado de dirigirme a Ud. en carácter de invitante del Sr. XXX, con motivo de su viaje a la Argentina para asistir a una reunión de accionistas. Con el objetivo de presentarme como **aval** del Sr. XXX, remito a continuación mis datos personales/los datos de la empresa invitante.

Pensé en "endorser".
Alguna sugerencia?
Gracias por adelantado
Claudia

Explanation:
As a former consular officer, I have seen the term "supporting" documents required when applying for a visa be it for tourism or business. One generally does not need an affidavit of support however except in the case of an immigrant visa.

representative


Explanation:
The person seems to be a representative of someone else who'd been invited to attend a share-holders' meeting, but instead another arrived as a substitute. A letter of presentation with a lot of information is required from the guest's home country.

(Me parece que el 'aval' del señor es su representante, porque el señor había sido invitado a una reunión de accionistas, pero en su lugar llegó otro como sustituto. Se requiere una carta de presentación con muchos datos del país del invitado.)

sponsor/ing


Explanation:
See the context above - pace Wilsonn.

Low CL / confidence level as unclear therefromn whether there is any financial liability being underwritten.

'Sponsor' and 'sponsorship letter' are the only terms I remember from my Central London Notarial Office that dealt with thousands of these applications to Consulates and Embassies the world over, so am slightly puzzled hat no one else has raised these permutations and combinations.

agree  Robert Carter: Yes, seems to be implying something slightly more engaged than a referee.

  -> Thanks, Robert. Looks like I 'backed' the wrong horse, though Notaries Public routinely sign off such 'sponsorship papers' in the UK in general.

But, in this case, being a shareholder's meeting and an invitee, perhaps "supporter/backer/guarantor" are other options (patinba already provided "reference").
