VISA APPLICATION TIPS

  • We strongly advise participants to personally check entry and visa requirements before making travel arrangements at least 3 months ahead of time, as there might be country-specific conditions that you are not aware of. For most accurate information please contact the embassy/consulate of the country where the conference will be held, in your home country.

  • If some participants need another type of visa that does require an invitation letter, the ICCCBDA 2022 local arrangement committee will be glad to help. To obtain an invitation letter, please send e-mail to icccbda@young.ac.cn , together with your registration, and in the case of being an author, your accepted paper ID. For most attendees, it is easier to apply for a Tourist ("L") visa; an invitation letter is NOT required for obtaining a Tourist visa.

  • Note: ICCCBDA will NOT issue any Letter of Sponsorship or Letter of Guarantee if you are required to do so by the immigration department. It is the participants’ sole responsibility to obtain such documents.
    ICCCBDA will not refund anyone for cancellations due to visa rejections or participant’s inability to enter the country.
    ICCCBDA cannot change the decision of the any country’s embassy/consulate or any other government departments, nor will ICCCBDA appeal to the embassy/consulate on behalf of the applicant.
    All questions/concerns regarding the status of your visa should be directed to the embassy/consulate of the country where the conference will be held, in your home country.
    In no event will ICCCBDA be liable for any loss or damage including without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage, or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of, or in connection with, the information provided on this page.
