Travel Advice
Visa application:
-
The conference includes a day trip to Macao, which means there will be a second entry into Mainland China when one returns to Zhuhai from Macao. Hence a double entry visa or multiple entry visa to Mainland China must be obtained in advance (except citizens from countries that enjoy visa-free access to Mainland China).
-
Mainland China visa is not valid for entry into Hong Kong or Macao (and vice versa), hence there is a need to apply for a Macao or Hong Kong visa if one plans to travel to Zhuhai via Macao or Hong Kong (except citizens from countries that enjoy visa-free access to Macao or Hong Kong). For citizens from countries that require a visa to enter Macao, please make sure that a Macao visa is obtained in advance so as not to miss the day trip to Macao.
