# Visas

For this meeting, the Letter of Invitation (LOI) is issued by IETF 125 Shenzhen meeting host CNNIC. For more information please visit:

https://www.ietf.org/meeting/visas/

We are experiencing an increasing number of attempts to obtain our LOIs by people who are unrelated to the IETF. To ensure that we do not inadvertently support visa fraud, we are applying a higher level of scrutiny to all of our support for visa applications. We apologize in advance for any friction this might cause.
