China has admitted for the first time that it is tightening its visa rules ahead of the Olympic Games.

Travel agents in Hong Kong, a major gateway to mainland China, reported last month that the government visa office told them previously easily obtained multiple-entry business visas would not be available until mid-October.

More rules including additional documentation for business visas and hotel bookings and plane tickets for tourist visas have also been reported.
