A visa is needed to enter China. An official invitation letter will also be issued and sent to those who have marked the box “ I need an official invitation letter to apply visa to China” on their final registration form. With the letter, one can go to the nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate for an entry visa. To allow ample time for visa application, please return the final registration form before 31 August, 2009. Any problems arise, please contact the Secretariat for assistance.
