Online pre-registration

Exhibitors and buyers need to go to the site with the registration code to collect the admission pass within the designated time. This method avoids the trouble of waiting in line on site, prepares admission passes in advance, and makes visits and negotiations smoother.

On-site processing

For those who have not pre-registered online, you can apply for an admission pass at the Canton Fair site. After arriving at the Canton Fair, find the permit application window at the entrance. Prepare relevant documents such as personal identification and company business cards, and fill in the admission ticket application form, including personal information, company information, visit date and exhibition hall, etc. After paying the admission ticket fee, wait for the staff to review and issue the admission ticket.
