Canton Fair FAQs

When is the 140th Canton Fair (Autumn 2026)?
The fair runs in three phases at the China Import and Export Fair Complex, Pazhou, Guangzhou: Phase 1 15 – 19 Oct 2026, Phase 2 23 – 27 Oct 2026, Phase 3 31 Oct – 4 Nov 2026. Daily hours are 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM.
What is included in the Hong Kong → Guangzhou package?
5 nights in a 3-star twin-sharing hotel, Indian breakfast and dinner daily, the 144-hour China visa transit, private transfers from Hong Kong airport to Guangzhou and back to the airport, a daily shuttle coach between the hotel and the Canton Fair, travel insurance, a data SIM and on-ground assistance. Flights are not included, but we can book them separately.
Which visa do Indians need for the Canton Fair?
Indian passport holders need permission to enter China. Our fixed-departure package includes the 144-hour China visa transit, which we arrange for you, subject to Chinese government rules at the time of application. If you are travelling independently, our China visa desk can advise on the right category, such as the business (M) visa, and prepare the application.
How early should I book?
For the package, we file your China visa about 15 days before departure, so book as early as you can. For a standalone China visa, allow 7–10 working days after submission plus the CVASC appointment — start at least 3 weeks before travel. If your date is sooner, contact us and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Are flights included?
No. The package covers everything from your arrival at Hong Kong airport to your departure from Guangzhou airport. We can book your flights to Hong Kong and from Guangzhou separately — just ask.
Can I attend more than one phase?
Yes. Many buyers attend two or all three phases. We can plan a longer stay or multiple trips and advise on visa validity and duration of stay to cover all phases you want to visit.
Is there an entry fee for the Canton Fair?
Overseas buyers register online and collect a buyer badge. Fee and badge rules are set by the fair organisers and can change each session, so our team confirms the current rules when you enquire.
Is 99Country an official Canton Fair agent?
99Country is an independent visa and travel company. We are not affiliated with the China Foreign Trade Centre or the Canton Fair organisers — we help Indian businesses with visas, travel and on-ground logistics for attending the fair.
