Visa Information

People of non-Chinese nationality need a Chinese Visa to enter China.  You may need a letter of invitation from China. An invitation letter can be requested by filling out this form and email it to Dr. Wenzhu Zhang (wzzhang1@mail.xidian.edu.cn). Please make your request no later than August 5, after which we will not be able to honor your requests. (Note: Invitation letters are to be issued by Xi’an Foreign Affairs Bureau, not by the conference organizers.)

U.S. citizens should be aware that to obtain a visa they will need to determine which Chinese embassy in the US covers their geographic region. You can only apply to your assigned embassy. To find your assigned embassy, please visit this page. http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/hzqz/t84229.htm.

If your assigned embassy is too far from your home for you to visit in person, you can use a visa agency. There are many companies that provide Chinese visa acquisition services. (A simple search with keywords "china visa service" results in many such companies.) These services are regionally-based so select one near you.
