b) No Guarantee: The conference committee cannot guarantee visa approval nor cover any financial losses caused by visa refusal or delays.
c) Entry Ports: If using transit exemption, ensure you enter via designated cities (e.g., Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou).
d) No Visa on Arrival：Unlike some countries, China generally does NOT offer visa-on-arrival services for the majority of international attendees. Please do not plan to obtain your visa at the airport upon departure or arrival. You must obtain a valid visa from a Chinese Embassy or Consulate before you board your flight.
e) Early Application for Specific Regions：If you are residing in or traveling from certain regions (including parts of Central Asia, the Middle East, or Africa), please be advised that visa processing may require additional administrative review time. To avoid missing the conference, we strongly suggest submitting your application as early as possible (at least 1.5 to 2 months in advance).
