PQCrypto 2025

You should pre-register with us if you are a

1. passport holder of the PRC (except Hong Kong and Macau) who resides in mainland China.
2. attendee who requires us to apply for an e-code for an e-VISA

All these scans and the form should be in PDF form. More information can be found here and here.

If you previously pre-registered and feel that you no longer need it, please write us at pqcrypto2025@iis.sinica.edu.tw and we will destroy your data.

1. 入台證 APPLICATION FOR PRC PASSPORT HOLDERS in the Chinese mainland

In this case we require the form contained in this ZIP archive from participants. You will also need scans of

• Your ID card (both sides)
• 2 inch color passport photo
• A proof of employment
• A proof of your specialty (certificate of graduation of your highest degree)

If you are a PRC passport holder in mainland China: There are two separate applications. This form is for applying to Taiwan, so that you can enter Taiwan ("入台證")。There is a separate application to the Chinese authorities, so that you can exit China proper into Taiwan ("大通證"), which we will assist with but you will need to file yourself. This includes sending you schedules, invitation letters, etc. Please send all inquiries also to pqcrypto2025@iis.sinica.edu.tw and we will answer as soon as possible.

For PRC passport holders in the Chinese mainland, we ask you to hold off registering until you actually receive the 入台證; you won't be charged a late fee when you are in process.

As noted above, this sort of visa process is variable and might take a long time. To avoid getting an ulcer as you wait, apply by the first date listed below if possible. The first batch of applications has a deadline of January 20, 2025 (AOE). The second batch of applications has a deadline of February 10, 2025 (AOE).

2. E-CODE APPLICATION

In this case, you will fill in this ZIP archive (which requires a passport scan) and submit to us.

Please submit the files prior to Feb 10, 2025.

We will send out on Feb 10 to confirm that we received your e-code application or if your information is incomplete. The e-code is a relatively safe procedure, so you can register once you have filed with us. Once your e-Code is approved, we will send the code to you, enabling you to apply for the eVisa online at https://visawebapp.boca.gov.tw/BOCA_EVISA/MRV04FORM.do

Data Security

Your data is collected and stored in PGP-encrypted form using client-sided encryption and we will not use this information except when we are applying for your participation with a sort-of-a-visa application. All data will be destroyed as soon as possible after we applied for everyone and received a result for you.
