Conference participants may need a Chinese visa to enter Thailand.
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 APCT 2025 local arrangement committees will be
glad to help. To obtain an invitation letter, please send e-mail to
apctconf@163.com, together with
your registration info., and in the case of being an author, your
accepted paper ID. The conference secretary will then send a formal
invitation letter issued by the organizing committees by email. Please
note that the letter may be helpful for your visa application, but
cannot guarantee you a visa.
1. A passport which is valid for at least six months following the date
of submission, with an entire blank page available for the visa;
2. One recent, 2 inch full-faced and bareheaded passport photo (the
daily life photo, photo copy or digital photo printed on the ordinary
paper shall not be accepted);
3. Other related application materials according to different purposes
for your trip to China;
4. Other materials related to the visa application, deemed as necessary
by the visa officer.
The above information is for reference only. For more information,
please contact the local Chinese Embassy in your country.
Alternatively, participants may ask their travel agents to arrange their
travel to China and obtain a tourist visa irrespective of whether or not
they have registered with the Conference Secretary. If participants have
any difficulties in obtaining their visa, they should contact the
Conference Secretary..
