London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games start from 27 July – 12 August 2012 (Olympic) and 29 August – 9 September 2012 (Paralympic)

Anyone applying to come to the UK as a spectator during the Olympics can make their applications now and, if they are successful, a visa will be issued to cover the whole of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Please note this is not a change in policy but a clarification of the existing concession.

The UK Border Agency has published a leaflet with information on visas and border checks for those wishing to attend the London 2012 Games as spectators. The leaflet is available online at:
