Visa and entry

Most international delegates need a Chinese visa arranged in advance; once confirmed, the secretariat can issue invitation letters to registered delegates on request. China currently operates a 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit policy for citizens of 57 countries: travellers holding a confirmed onward ticket to a third country or region may enter through open ports including Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport and stay within the permitted areas such as Zhejiang Province for tourism, business or visits. The list of eligible countries is updated from time to time — please refer to the latest announcement of the National Immigration Administration.

Invitation letters

The conference secretariat issues electronic invitation letters (PDF with electronic signature and conference seal), sent by email after approval, both to delegates with paid registration and to authors of accepted papers.

How to apply: ① confirm your eligibility (paid or accepted) → ② submit the online form below → ③ the secretariat reviews within 3–7 working days → ④ the signed PDF invitation is emailed to you.

Tip: Chinese visa processing normally takes 2–4 weeks, so please apply early — during peak seasons (March–May) we recommend submitting at least 2 weeks ahead. Visa information in the form must be in English and match your passport exactly. If you run into a problem with the form, email secretariat@icdcs2027.com with the subject Invitation Letter Application.
