​Visa Application 

Visa Application

Conference participants who hold a foreign passport may need to apply for a Chinese visa to visit China, except passport holders from Singapore, Brunei and Japan. Participants can apply for a visa at the Chinese embassy or consulate in the region where they live. To avoid any uncertainty, participants are advised to apply as early as possible, allowing at least one month in advance.

​​

For most attendees, the Tourist (L) visa is the most common option, for which no invitation letter is required for the application.

 

* For more information, please contact the local Chinese Embassy in your country.

Invitation Letters　

1. The invitation letter will be issued by the IC-CEC Committee Board after the successful registration is completed.

2. Your name provided must be exactly the same as it appears on your passport. Any discrepancy between your name on your passport and on your invitation letter or other documents could lead to a delay and/or denial of your visa application.

3. Please note that the IC-CEC Conference and its organizing committees are not authorized to assist with your visa application process beyond issuing the official invitation letter from the IC-CEC Conference Committee Board. Should your application be denied, IC-CEC Conference and the Organizing Committee cannot influence the decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), nor will the IC-CEC Conference and its organizing committee engage in any discussion or correspondence with the MOFA or the Embassy on behalf of the applicant. The registration fee will not be refunded if your visa application is denied.

4. It takes around one month for the Embassy to process the visa application. Please register as early as possible and ensure you have enough time to obtain your visa.
