Visa Information

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.
If some participants need another type of visa
that does require an invitation letter, the conference
local arrangement committee will be glad to
help. To obtain an invitation letter, please
send e-mail to conference secretary, together with
your registration, and in the case of being an
author, your accepted paper ID.
NECESSARY MATERIALS TO APPLY FOR CHINESE VISA
▷ A passport which is valid for
at least six months following the date of
submission, with an entire blank page available
for the visa;

Republic of China, which is filled clearly with
