Necessary materials to apply for Chinese Visa

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.

The following are the minimum documents for applying for a Tourist Visa (L Visa).
Other documents or requirements may be necessary, especially if you are not applying for the usual L visa.

The Conference is not a Government Body; it cannot issue any Invitation Letter of Duly Authorized Unit for the Business Visa; please try Tourist Visa (L Visa);
The invitation letter from the organizing committees will be sent upon request only when you register successfully. Once your registration is completed, please contact ateee@ateee.org to request a personalized letter of invitation;
Your name must be listed exactly as it appears on your passport. Any differences between the name on your passport and the name on your invitation letter or other documentation could lead to a delay and/or denial of your visa.

Please note that the ATEEE 2023 is NOT authorized to assist with the VISA process beyond providing the Invitation Letter. The invitation letter may help but cannot guarantee you a Chinese Visa. ATEEE 2023 will not be held responsible for refusal of visas. The registration fee cannot be refunded.
