To enter China from a foreign country, you may need to apply for a visa.

For ICEF 2025, a short-stay visa (less than 30 days) specifically for conference attendance is typically required. Please contact the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in your country to apply.

This official website will guide you to the appropriate list of required documents and application procedures according to your country of citizenship.

To assist with your visa application, the ICEF 2025 organizing committee is happy to provide an official invitation letter.

Please note that this is not a business visit—you are being invited to participate in an academic conference organized by a public institution. When submitting your visa application, please select the appropriate visa category for academic exchange or conference attendance, not a business visa.

To request an invitation letter, please send the following Request Form via email to wangh@ces.org.cn.
