Visa Requirements

We recommend all conference participants to check their visa requirements to visit China before planning their travel. While some applicants may be exempt from visa, the others 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 soon as possible. For further information please check the link below:
