[DiDelaney]

Out-of-town license plates need to apply for a Beijing entry permit. The regulations for out-of-town vehicles entering Beijing are as follows: 1. Vehicles entering roads within the Sixth Ring Road and the entire area of Tongzhou District (excluding the main roads of expressways) must apply for a Beijing entry permit; 2. Each vehicle can apply for a Beijing entry permit a maximum of 12 times per year, with each permit valid for up to 7 days. Before the permit expires, the vehicle must leave Beijing; 3. If a vehicle does not apply for a Beijing entry permit or the permit has expired, and is parked on urban roads above the branch level within Beijing, the number of days the vehicle can apply for a Beijing entry permit in the current year will be reduced accordingly based on the number of days parked; 4. Inter-provincial long-distance passenger buses and inter-provincial tourist buses that have already obtained an out-of-town passenger transport permit do not need to apply for a Beijing entry permit; 5. Military, armed police vehicles, and special vehicles such as police cars and ambulances on duty do not need to apply for a Beijing entry permit.
