| 10 | If you are going to a conference in China, you need an F-type visa "Non-business" |

| 12 | In Iceland, the Chinese Embassy is at Bríetartúni 1, 105 Reykjavík https://ja.is/sendirad-kina/ |
||
| 13 | The embassy is open 09:00-11:30 MWF. A visa usually takes 5 days to process and costs 17500ISK. |

| 15 | When you go apply for your visa, remember to bring your actual passport and a copy. They will hold onto the passport until the visa is issued. (I have no idea why.) |

| 17 | Check the official website, but I believe you need: |
||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | * Photocopy of the info page and picture page of your passport |
||
| 20 | * The filled out form, signed and dated. |
||
| 21 | * A passport photo attached to the form. |
||
| 22 | * Proof of residency |
||
| 23 | * Invitation letter. Contact the conference chair to get one e.g. Ang Liu <angliu AT usc DOT edu> |
||

| 25 | If you‘ve already bought tickets, you probably want to include them with the paperwork. It might help to make sure the visa dates match. |
