Visa Application
Conference participants
may need a Chinese visa to enter China.
Specifically, those who are not Chinese
citizens, except passport holders from
Singapore, Brunei, and Japan, need a Chinese
visa. Participants can apply for a visa at
the Chinese embassy or consulate in the
region in which they live. To avoid
uncertainty, participants will be advised to
apply for a visa as early as possible. It is
recommended that they apply for a Chinese
visa at least 1 month in advance.
For most attendees, it is easier to apply
for a Tourist ("L") visa; an invitation
letter is NOT required for obtaining a
Tourist visa.
* For more information, please contact the local Chinese Embassy in your country.
