Need a Visa or Ticket for the Beijing Olympics? Better Hurry!

The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing are scheduled for August 8-24 (beginning on 080808).  The Paralympic games will run from September 6-17 2008.

In case you’ve left everything until the last minute, check your passport to make sure that it will be valid for six months from the date you enter China.  A visa from the Chinese Embassy in London is needed to enter China.  Those planning to travel from Mainland China to Hong Kong must obtain a multiple entry visa to get back to the mainland.

Tickets should only be purchased from an official supplier - which in the UK is Sportsworld.  For more information and updated travel advice visit the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website section for China and follow the links to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.   Don’t forget to take out travel insurance before leaving on your trip.
