Entry Visa

Currently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China grants visa waivers/exemptions to a number of countries that have visa-free arrangements with China. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a short-term visa to enter China in order to attend this conference, please consult the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China website.

If your country is not listed, you will need to contact the Chinese Embassy or the nearest Chinese Consulate in your home country to receive guidance on the application process and necessary documents. For more information, please visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China website.

As part of the visa application process, you may be required to submit a Letter of Invitation from the ISACCE 2027 Organizing Committee.

Letters of Invitation

A Letter of Invitation is an official document that confirms payment of registration fees and extends an official invitation to the paid registrant to attend and participate in the upcoming conference. In other words, it provides the holder with an official reason to come to China. It may be required by your university for administrative purposes, and will likely form one of the documents required for visa application if you are from a country that does not have a visa exemption agreement with China.

Letters of Guarantee

The ISACCE 2027 Organizing Committee cannot provide Letters of Guarantee. Please note that a Letter of Guarantee is different from a Letter of Invitation. Depending on your professional situation, background and nationality, you may be required to submit a Letter of Invitation and/or Letter of Guarantee.

A Letter of Guarantee is a letter in which an individual or body agrees to be legally and financially responsible for you during your stay in China. You may know an individual or institution in China willing to act as a guarantor, or, if you have no connection with the country, Chinese immigration authorities may find that it is acceptable to have your university act as the guarantor.

Further Visa Assistance

All questions/concerns regarding the status of your visa should be directed to the Chinese immigration authorities or the Chinese Embassy/Consulate in your home country.

If your visa application is denied, please note that the ISACCE 2027 Organizing Committee will not be able to change the decision of the Chinese immigration authorities, nor will it engage in discussion or correspondence with the Chinese immigration authorities or the Chinese Embassy/Consulate on behalf of the applicant.

The ISACCE 2027 Organizing Committee is not authorised to assist with the visa process beyond providing a Letter of Invitation.
