In the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the Greek delegation from the birthplace of the Olympic Movement was the first to enter, the Italian delegation from the next Winter Olympics was the second from the bottom, the delegation from China, the host country of this Winter Olympics, was the last to enter, and delegations from other countries and regions entered in simplified Chinese alphabetical order, among which Portugal ranked 72nd.

Generally, the order of admission of the Winter Olympics delegation is decided by the host country according to the Olympic rules and traditions, but it needs the consent of the International Olympic Committee. The International Olympic Committee has only one basic requirement in this link: the Greek delegation will always be the first to enter the stadium to show its respect for the birthplace of the Olympic Games. And according to past practice, the host is usually the last one to enter the venue. According to the latest decision of the International Olympic Committee, the delegation of the country or region that won the right to host the future Olympic Games will appear in front of the current host to show the special status of the host of the future Olympic Games.

In addition, in the past, the delegation's admission order was arranged alphabetically in French or English, but in recent years, it has gradually been arranged according to some laws of the host country's language, such as Greek alphabet, Japanese pentasyllables, Korean pronunciation, Chinese strokes and so on.
