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.
If
some participants need another type of visa that does require an invitation
letter, the UPSER 2019 local arrangement committee will be glad to help. To
obtain an invitation letter, please send e-mail to yangke@cczu.edu.cn, together
with your registration, and in the case of being an author, your accepted paper
ID. The Conference Secretariat will then send a formal visa application form
via airmail or fax with which the participants can apply for a visa.
