Visitors to China must have a valid passport and, in most cases, an appropriate Chinese visa. Please check at your earliest convenience with your local Chinese Embassy or Consulate General for details on visa application. It is advisable to apply for the visa at least two months ahead of the workshop.
In general, a Tourist Visa (L Visa) will suffice for you to attend our workshop; and you do not need any invitation letter for L-Visa application. However, in cases that a Business Visa (F Visa) is a must, you will need a letter of invitation issued from the QOQI2014 Organizing Committee. If you need an official invitation letter or any further assistance on visa application, please contact Ms. Yuan Gao (+86-10-82687001; QOQI2014@csrc.ac.cn).
