The Games will be the biggest event that the UK has
hosted and many extra visitors will arrive during the busy summer period
in 2012.From 1 January 2012 we will begin processing visitor visas for those
coming from outside the UK to watch the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
We will process your application and, if you meet the
requirements, will issue your visa with a start date that will cover you
for the whole Olympic and Paralympic Games period. This means that you
can start your preparations for travelling to the UK for the Games from
the beginning of 2012.
This rule also applies to all applicants wishing to apply for a UK visitor visa.
You can use our Do I need a visa?
questionnaire to find out if you need to apply for a visa. If you are
coming to watch the Games as a visitor, you will be allowed to stay in
the UK for up to 6 months in most cases.
See the Olympic and Paralympic Games section for more information.
