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.
