Visa Application to China
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.

apply for Chinese Visa

six months following the date of
