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 non-business exchanges and visits (F) Visa that does require an invitation letter, please contact us 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 1, 2012:
  1. Full Name
  2. Date of Birth, Sex
  3. Passport Number, Nationality
  4. Institution, Title
  5. Period of Stay in China (including possible stays outside Beijing)
  6. To Which Embassy You will Apply for the Visa.
