In accordance with the IPC Handbook and relevant UK legislation, a Pre-Valid
Card, along with a passport, will serve as an official entry document to enter the
UK between 30 March 2012 and 8 November 2012 with a period of stay not
exceeding six months from first entry. No additional entry visa will be required
during this period. The Pre-Valid Card will be valid for multiple entries provided it
is accompanied on each occasion by a passport.
The PIAC allows access to Paralympic Games venues. Before validation, the PIAC
is referred to as a Pre-Valid Card. Once the Pre-Valid Card has been validated, it
becomes the official PIAC for the bearer throughout the London 2012 Paralympic
Games period. Pre-Valid Cards can be validated only after the completion of your
NPC’s Delegation Registration Meeting and up until, and including, the day of the
Closing Ceremony on 9 September 2012.
