VISA guidance for international participants
If you are not a citizen of China, you most likely needed to apply for a visa to attend the conference. The conference office issued invitation letters to support visa applications for registered authors and participants.
Request an invitation letter
Download the VISA request form, complete the necessary information, and email it to the conference office. Use the subject line format [Your paper ID]: ICNC FSKD 2018 VISA REQUEST. The office then sent the invitation letter for the visa application.
Before you apply
-
Register for the conference
Visa support was provided for conference participants. Complete your registration and keep the confirmation ready before requesting an invitation letter.
-
Complete the request form
Provide your full name as it appears in your passport, passport number, nationality, paper ID if applicable, affiliation, and the dates of your intended stay. The form asks for the details needed to prepare the letter.
-
Email the form to the conference office
Send the completed form to the conference office using the subject line format above. Include any corrections in the same email so the invitation letter matches your passport.
-
Apply early
Visa applications take time. The original guidance asked participants to begin the process as early as possible and to check the requirements of the Chinese embassy or consulate in their country.
Useful official information
Visa requirements depend on nationality and place of application. The official Chinese visa application service and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provide the authoritative requirements, forms, and processing times.
Questions about your invitation letter
Contact the conference office with your paper ID and the name exactly as it appears in your passport. See the contact page for the conference address and secretariat details.
