Germany, Russia, France, Korea, the Netherlands, Croatia, Malaysia, Spain, Singaporean, Thailand etc.; participants holding a private passport and staying in China for not more than 30 days do not need a visa (List of Agreements on Mutual Visa Exemption Between the People’s Republic of China and Foreign Countries: http://cs.mfa.gov.cn/zlbg/bgzl/lhqz/t902373.shtml). Early registration is advised so that adequate time is allowed for obtaining visas.
To obtain a business visa, participants upon registration can provide passport information on line with a scanned copy of the passport so that the organizer can prepare and send an official visa invitation letter, which lists the city where the applicant should apply for the visa, the passport data, the gender of the applicant and any accompanying persons, the date of entry and the length of stay. Alternatively, participants can apply for a tourist visa through a travel agent after booking air tickets and completing the hotel reservation.
