Foreign participants usually need a visa to enter China. You are advised to
submit your visa application to the appropriate authorities as early as
possible, in order not to delay your travel plan.
We recommend that you apply for a tourist visa (category L), which is the
simplest and fastest one. Before submitting your application, please always
check with the Chinese Embassies or Consulates General in your local region for
the latest information. You may find a complete list of Chinese Embassies and
Consulates General here. In many countries (except the US), the tourist visa may
be applied through the Chinese Visa Application
Service Center. Note that
applications sent by postal mails are usually not accepted.
Invitation Letter
A Letter of Invitation is a proof for conference registration and
attendance application. It will be stated in English and may help
with your visa application. However, it does not guarantee you a
visa. Invitation letters will only be issued once your registration
and payment have been confirmed. And it will be sent by e-mail.
For those who require a visa, please note that the Organizing
Committee has no control over the visa application process, or the
decision of the visa adjudicator in the embassy or consulate. The
conference cannot be responsible for actual visa issuances. The
process length varies from individuals, you're strongly advised to
start your application as soon as you can.
Should your application be denied, we cannot change the decision of
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor will we engage in discussion or
correspondence with the MOFA or the Embassy on behalf of the
applicant.
