Visa Application
Conference participants who are not Chinese citizens may need a Chinese visa to enter China. Participants can apply for a visa at the Chinese embassy or consulate in the region in which they live. For most attendees, it is easy to apply for a Tourist (L) visa; an invitation letter is not required for obtaining a Tourist visa.
If some participants need to apply a Business (F) Visa that does require an invitation letter, please contact Ms Liu, Ying (liuying@lsec.cc.ac.cn) to get an official invitation letter needed for the Chinese visa application. Participants are advised to apply for a visa as early as possible. It is recommended that they apply for a Chinese visa at least ONE month in advance.
If you plan to apply F Visa, please provide the following information to us by November 5, 2012:
- Full Name
- Date of Birth, Sex
- Passport Number, Nationality
- Institution, Title
- Period of Stay in China (including possible stays outside Beijing)
- To Which Embassy You will Apply for the Visa.
Travel Information
Beijing Capital International Airport (http://en.bcia.com.cn) is located in the northeast of Beijing, about 30 km away from the conference site. It is very convenient to access the city from the Airport by taxi or public transportation. Taking a taxi is a convenient choice. Fees are charged according to the on-car-meter. Fares should be paid in RMB cash. It costs around RMB100 to get to the Jade Palace Hotel. Most taxi drivers cannot speak or understand English, so we will prepare the address of the contract hotels in Chinese for you to show to drivers. They should be clear enough for most Beijing taxi drivers.
