Visa

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 Embassies or Consulate General for details on visa application. It is advisable to apply for the visa at least two months ahead of the conference.

If you need an official invitation letter or any further assistance with your visa application, please email bail2016@csrc.ac.cn

Currency conversion is possible at airports and banks.
