Hello,
It's not complicated. You need to send her:
- An invitation letter explaining what you just said. You just introduce yourself (name, address, job, your company number, salary...) and then explain that you would like to invite your wife's sister (name, DOB, job, address) for holidays.
- 6 months payslips
- 6 months bank statement (you can remove all pages except the ones showing the salary coming in. I sometimes ask the bank to send me the statements so they look genuine vs printed online)
- 2 recent utility bills (no mobile phone bills)
- copy of your passport
- copy of your marriage certificate to her sister (the full relationship has to be demonstrated)
She then need to fill a form online, prepare her own paper work to prove who she is and what she does. Then, she will get an appointment. She needs to go there will all the paperwork you send her, plus her own paperwork including documents to prove that she is indeed your wife's sister.
Normally, if everything is well prepare, this visas a granted without too much hassle.
I for one use DHL to send the documents but some prefer to scan and email. It's up you but I always got positive outcomes for my family member when I sent them originals from the UK.
Godspeed!
