Typically around 2-4 per meeting. For example, see the 'attendees' list at the top of the agenda for our April board meeting:

They are typically local, active Wikimedia volunteers.

They mostly observe the meeting, but can make comments occasionally (with the chair's permission). Visitors can also give presentations, upon invitation or acceptance of an offer of a presentation.

Mostly word of mouth, or by taking a look at our meeting agenda - e.g. our next board meeting is in London this weekend, and there's an open invitation in the 'Attendees' part of the agenda page:
