In order to visit China and attend the conference, overseas participants will be required to have valid visas. Obtaining a visa for entry into China is not difficult, but it is important to allow enough lead time for processing your application. Visa requirements vary with time and place, and you should inform yourself about what is needed for the country in which you live. 

You will need to go to the visa office of the Embassy or Consulate-General in the consular jurisdiction in which you live to submit the application. Visa fees and processing times vary from country to country. Please check with the visa office for details. If your local travel agent has experience arranging travel to China, they can also help with getting your visa.
