外国人到我国法院起诉，可分为两种情况：一是在我国领域内没有住所地；一是在我国领域内暂时停留、短暂居住或长期定居。这两种情况是有区别的，因此也就决定了外国人在我国起诉的条件、手续不同。对第一种情况下外国人的法律地位和起诉条件，民事诉讼法第二百四十二条有明确? Foreigners to our courts for prosecution can be divided into two situations: First, there is no place of domicile in our territory; first, temporary stay, temporary residence or long-term residence in our territory. The two situations are different, therefore, they also determine the conditions for foreigners to prosecute in our country and the procedures are different. With regard to the legal status of foreigners in the first case and the conditions for prosecution, Article 242 of the Civil Procedure Law is clear?
