Holders of ordinary passports from the following 50 countries may enter China without a visa for business, tourism, visiting relatives or friends, exchange visits and transit for no more than 30 days. Attending an academic conference is normally treated as an exchange visit or business visit; if you intend to do anything else in China (employment, study, news reporting or other activities that require prior approval), you must obtain the appropriate visa before departure. The length of stay is counted from 00:00 on the day following the day of entry.

请注意政策有效期。上述单方面免签安排，多数国家目前施行至 2026 年 12 月 31 日，俄罗斯施行至 2027 年 12 月 31 日，文莱未设固定截止日期。由于本届会议在 2027 年 10 月举行，建议您在出行前再次核实：若届时政策未获延期，或您的国籍不在名单内，请改办签证。

All open ports in China apply a 24-hour visa-free transit policy to nationals of all countries. A foreign national holding a valid international travel document and a connecting ticket with confirmed seats, travelling by air, sea or rail through China to a third country or region, may stay in China for up to 24 hours without a visa provided that he or she does not leave the restricted area of the port. Anyone who needs to leave the restricted area must apply to the border inspection authorities at the port for a temporary entry permit.
中国所有对外开放口岸对世界各国人员实施 24 小时过境免签政策。外国人持本人有效国际旅行证件和定妥座位的联程客票，搭乘国际航行的航空器、船舶或列车从中国过境前往第三国（地区），在中国境内停留不超过 24 小时且不离开口岸限定区域的，可免办签证；如需离开口岸限定区域，应当向口岸出入境边防检查机关申请办理临时入境许可。
If none of the categories above applies to you, or if you wish to arrive earlier or stay longer than the visa-free periods allow, please apply for a visa at a Chinese embassy or consulate in your country of residence before departure. For conference attendance, the usual visa categories are:
• F visa – for exchange, visits and non-commercial academic activities;
• M visa – for commercial and trade activities.
Please apply at least one to two months before departure and allow extra time for appointments and processing. Typical supporting documents include: a passport valid for at least six months with blank visa pages, a completed application form and recent photograph, an official invitation letter from the conference, confirmed round-trip tickets and hotel booking, and proof of registration. Requirements vary by embassy; please follow the instructions of the mission you apply to.
如您不属于上述任何一类，或希望比免签期限更早入境、停留更久，请在行前向居住国的中国使领馆申请签证。参加会议常用的签证类别为：
• F 字签证：适用于交流、访问及非商业性学术活动；
• M 字签证：适用于商业贸易活动。
建议在出发前 1–2 个月提交申请，并为预约和审理预留时间。常见材料包括：有效期 6 个月以上且有空白签证页的护照、签证申请表及近期照片、大会出具的正式邀请函、往返机票与住宿预订证明、注册缴费凭证。各国使领馆要求略有差异，请以您递交申请的使领馆指引为准。

Yangzhou Taizhou International Airport (YTY) is one of the designated ports for the 240-hour visa-free transit, and is the closest airport to the venue. International routes into YTY are limited, however, so most overseas participants arrive at Shanghai Pudong (PVG), Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) or Nanjing Lukou (NKG) and continue to Yangzhou by high-speed train; Yangzhou is also connected by rail to Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou. Detailed transfer guidance and the official hotel booking information will be published on the Venue page and in the Conference Manual.
扬州泰州国际机场（YTY）是 240 小时过境免签的适用口岸之一，也是距离会场最近的机场。但该机场国际航线有限，多数境外参会者会选择从上海浦东（PVG）、上海虹桥（SHA）或南京禄口（NKG）入境，再乘高铁前往扬州；扬州与北京、上海、南京、杭州等地均有铁路连接。具体接驳指引与官方酒店预订信息，将陆续发布在 Venue 页面及会议手册中。
