MWCS EN Visa Support

It is your sole responsibility to take care of visa requirements. If you require a VISA support letter to attend MWC Shanghai 2025, please request one via the registration system after you have completed your registration.

For more information please contact the closest Chinese embassy or consulate in your territory.

The Chinese government recommends you contact your local Chinese Embassy or Consulate-General for travel information. In addition, they provide this information on Chinese visa requirements.

Applicants who are applying for a Chinese visa may be required to submit the application in person to get fingerprints and photos approved at the Visa Application Centre, in accordance with Chinese laws and regulations, and based on the principle of reciprocity. Please do check with your local China embassy for detailed rules and visa application process, and please allow enough time to go through the visa application process.

GSMA Ltd. is a US-based organization, and its GSMA Group affiliates are UK, EU and Switzerland based organizations. Accordingly, GSMA Ltd. must comply with all applicable US, UK, EU and Swiss trade sanctions. Those trade sanctions prohibit GSMA Ltd. from issuing a visa invitation letter to delegates from Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria, as is also the case for delegates from other countries or territories who have been designated as sanctioned persons by the US, UK, EU and/or Swiss authorities. 

Please note that regardless of your personal visa invitation, you will not be permitted to access GSMA Ltd. events if you (individually) or the company you represent is subject to US, UK, EU and/or Swiss trade sanctions. 

If you are unsure whether trade sanctions apply to you or your organization, please contact us at [email protected]
