As China just changed their Visa entry requirements you should be
aware that multiple entry visas are not being issued.
Anybody requiring a single entry visa are now required to submit, in
addition to current requirements which are: valid passport, Chinese visa application form (from your country's Chinese embassy) and recent photograph, a letter of invitation from either the relevant department of the Chinese Government or a Chinese Government authorised company.
We will send you this letter of invitation after you filled in the application
form and sent it to Jessy Guo at jessy.guo@crugroup.com with a copy
of your passport.
The information on the UK Chinese Embassy website:
http://www.chinese-embassy.org.uk/eng/lsyw/chivisa/t424261.htm also
says that you need to send a room confirmation letter from the hotel and proof of return flights with your application form. This
would be a copy of your flight tickets.
Please be aware of these changes and make sure you send all required documents with your visa application.
Many social events will be organised by our local co-hosts, details to
follow soon.

With China becoming an influential player in global metals, it is absolutely vital to support this hugely important market. CRU Events will therefore be offering Chinese Mandarin simultaneous interpreting throughout the conference sessions at the conference.
