Visa Information
Chinese Visa
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.
