Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years after their commencement of operations.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Diversified International Fund - Class T on December 17, 1998, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the MSCI® EAFE® Index did over the same period.



Annual Report

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Bill Bower, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Diversified International Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free-Latin America Index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P®/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, Fidelity Advisor Diversified International Fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares were up 31.99%, 31.66%, 30.90% and 30.94%, respectively, topping the LipperSM International Funds Average, which rose 24.51%, as well as the MSCI EAFE index. The fund's holdings outperformed those of the index in eight of the 10 major market sectors. Our biggest advantage came in the energy industry, where an emphasis on energy services stocks proved quite helpful. Elsewhere, Japanese brokerage stocks - including Nomura and Nikko Cordial - were beneficiaries of the rising equity markets. Increasing the fund's emerging-markets exposure early in the period also worked out well, as several of these stocks rallied sharply. Keeping a low exposure to European technology companies was disappointing, however, given that the market's willingness to pay for their only modestly better earnings growth was much greater than I expected, and these stocks rose. Looking at individual detractors, Anglo/Dutch consumer staples giant Unilever was hurt by disappointing third-quarter 2003 sales, and Swiss pharmaceutical firm Novartis declined due to lower-than-expected third-quarter profits.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Diversified International Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regula-tory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes

Annual Report

Security Valuation - continued

of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees.

The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash

balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Bill Bower, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Diversified International Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% -- had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free-Latin America Index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P®/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, Fidelity Advisor Diversified International Fund's Institutional Class shares were up 32.41%, topping the LipperSM International Funds Average, which rose 24.51%, as well as the MSCI EAFE index. Superior stock selection was the main reason for the fund's outperformance, with the fund beating the index's holdings in eight of the 10 major market sectors The portfolio's biggest advantage came in the energy industry, where an emphasis on energy services stocks, as well as companies with little exposure to the Middle East, proved quite helpful. Elsewhere, Japanese brokerage stocks were beneficiaries of the rising equity markets, and our holdings of Nomura and Nikko Cordial were top performers. Additionally, increasing the fund's emerging-markets exposure early in the period worked out well, as several of these stocks were among the fund's top contributors. Keeping a low exposure to European technology companies was disappointing, however, given that the market's willingness to pay for their only modestly better earnings growth was much greater than I expected, and these stocks rose. Looking at individual detractors, Anglo/Dutch consumer staples giant Unilever was hurt by disappointing third-quarter 2003 sales, and Swiss pharmaceutical firm Novartis declined due to lower-than-expected third-quarter profits.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Diversified International Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regula-tory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes

of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable

income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates.

The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services may include payments of expenses on behalf of the fund to support distribution of fund shares for Class A and Class T ("Distribution Expense Reduction") and to pay other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees ("Other Expense Reduction") collectively referred to as "Brokerage Service Arrangements" in the accompanying table.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. Class A's 12b-1 plan currently authorizes a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on June 16, 1999. Returns between March 25, 1994 and June 16, 1999 are those of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund, Inc., the Closed-End Fund.

Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End Fund. If Class A shares' total expenses, including its 12b-1 fee, had been reflected in the Closed-End Fund's performance, Class A's returns, prior to June 16,1999, may have been lower.

This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. Class T's 12b-1 plan currently authorizes a 0.50% 12b-1 fee.

Annual Report

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Yosawadee Polcharoen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Emerging Asia Fund

Emerging Asian equity markets were among the world's best performers during the year that ended October 31, 2003. In that time, each country represented in the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM (MSCI®) All Country Asia Free ex Japan Index - a performance benchmark of Asian emerging markets, excluding Japan - returned in excess of 23% in U.S. dollar terms, and the index as a whole advanced 38.86%. Emerging Asian markets were boosted by the improving global economy, a pickup in export growth and a recovery from the SARS epidemic. In terms of individual performance, some of the nations with the smallest exposure in the index had the biggest returns. China, which displayed unexpected resilience to the SARS-related slowdown, represented about 3.5% of the index on average and gained more than 108%, while Thailand, accounting for about 2.5% of the index, advanced 87%. South Korea - the largest index component at 26% on average - underperformed as its economy slipped into a recession. Hong Kong, the benchmark's second-largest weighting, also underperformed despite gaining nearly 35%.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 32.15%, 31.70%, 31.26% and 31.22%, respectively, trailing the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country Asia Free ex Japan Index. The fund also lagged the LipperSM Pacific Region ex Japan Funds Average, which posted a 37.16% return. An overweighting in the South Korean market, most notably in consumer and banking stocks, hurt performance. Consumer stocks, including CJ Home Shopping, were sidetracked by slowing credit growth and weak domestic consumption. Meanwhile, Korean banking stocks lagged due to high default rates on credit card debt. In the export group, Korean electronics firm Samsung Electro-Mechanics was hampered by sluggish demand for the company's electronics products. Conversely, overweighting India and Thailand, both of which outperformed the benchmark, helped performance. Indian auto manufacturer Tata Motors returned 182% due to robust domestic demand. Also helping was Siam Cement, Thailand's leading construction material company, whose 131% return was driven by strong demand from real estate and infrastructure development.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Annual Report

Security Valuation - continued

remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. In March of 2002, the fund filed for a ruling in India regarding the applicability of taxes imposed by the country on realized capital gains under the US/India tax treaty. The ruling requested the refund of

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Annual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

taxes paid in prior years and would exempt future realized gains from taxes. Although the ruling is still pending, the fund received a refund of 66 million Indian rupees (approximately $1,450,000) representing taxes paid by the fund in 2000 through 2002. The outcome of the ruling cannot be predicted and the Indian tax authorities could request repayment of the refund if there is an unfavorable ruling. The fund has continued to accrue capital gains taxes (prior and current) until such time as a final ruling is received. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in

segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $8,078 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

A Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns between March 25, 1994 and June 16, 1999 are those of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund, Inc., the Closed-End Fund. On June 15, 1999, the Closed-End Fund reorganized as an open-end fund through a transfer of all its assets and liabilities to Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund (the fund). Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End Fund. If the effect of Institutional Class expenses was reflected, returns may be lower than shown because Institutional Class shares of the fund may have higher total expenses than the Closed-End Fund.

Annual Report

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Yosawadee Polcharoen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Emerging Asia Fund

Emerging Asian equity markets were among the world's best performers during the year that ended October 31, 2003. In that time, each country represented in the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM (MSCI®) All Country Asia Free ex Japan Index - a performance benchmark of Asian emerging markets, excluding Japan - returned in excess of 23% in U.S. dollar terms, and the index as a whole advanced 38.86%. Emerging Asian markets were boosted by the improving global economy, a pickup in export growth and a recovery from the SARS epidemic. In terms of individual performance, some of the nations with the smallest exposure in the index had the biggest returns. China, which displayed unexpected resilience to the SARS-related slowdown, represented about 3.5% of the index on average and gained more than 108%, while Thailand, accounting for about 2.5% of the index, advanced 87%. South Korea - the largest index component at 26% on average - underperformed as its economy slipped into a recession. Hong Kong, the benchmark's second-largest weighting, also underperformed despite gaining nearly 35%.

During the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 32.40%, trailing the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country Asia Free ex Japan Index. The fund also lagged the LipperSM Pacific Region ex Japan Funds Average, which posted a 37.16% return. An overweighting in the South Korean market, most notably in consumer and banking stocks, hurt performance. Consumer stocks, including CJ Home Shopping, were sidetracked by slowing credit growth and weak domestic consumption. Meanwhile, Korean banking stocks lagged due to high default rates on credit card debt. In the export group, Korean electronics firm Samsung Electro-Mechanics was hampered by sluggish demand for the company's electronics products. Conversely, overweighting India and Thailand, both of which outperformed the benchmark, helped performance. Indian auto manufacturer Tata Motors returned 182% due to robust domestic demand. Also helping was Siam Cement, Thailand's leading construction material company, whose 131% return was driven by strong demand from real estate and infrastructure development.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Security Valuation - continued

remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. In March of 2002, the fund filed for a ruling in India regarding the applicability of taxes imposed by the country on realized capital gains under the US/India tax treaty. The ruling requested the refund of

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Annual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

taxes paid in prior years and would exempt future realized gains from taxes. Although the ruling is still pending, the fund received a refund of 66 million Indian rupees (approximately $1,450,000) representing taxes paid by the fund in 2000 through 2002. The outcome of the ruling cannot be predicted and the Indian tax authorities could request repayment of the refund if there is an unfavorable ruling. The fund has continued to accrue capital gains taxes (prior and current) until such time as a final ruling is received. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in

segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $8,078 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Ian Hart, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Latin America index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2003, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and C shares had returns of 25.30%, 24.90%, 24.30% and 24.27%, respectively. By comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index posted a total return of 24.56% for the same period, while the LipperSM European Region Funds Average returned 23.64%. Stock picking accounted for most of the fund's outperformance, with individual stocks in the telecommunications space - notably Ericsson, Alcatel, Mobistar and Versatel - providing very attractive gains. Solid performance from such top-10 holdings as Germany's Deutsche Boerse and France's SEB also boosted returns. The fund was hurt by an underweighted position in the banking sector and disappointing earnings growth from companies such as Van Der Moolen, the Dutch market maker, and Ahold, the Dutch food retailer. Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch consumer goods company, also detracted from performance.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Security Valuation - continued

remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 30 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default

of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

which the sales are made.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Annual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $11,202 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund as of October 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Ian Hart, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Latin America index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2003, the fund's Institutional Class shares had a return of 25.39%. By comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index posted a total return of 24.56% for the same period, while the LipperSM European Region Funds Average returned 23.64%. Stock picking accounted for most of the fund's outperformance, with individual stocks in the telecommunications space - notably Ericsson, Alcatel, Mobistar and Versatel - providing very attractive gains. Solid performance from such top-10 holdings as Germany's Deutsche Boerse and France's SEB also boosted returns. The fund was hurt by an underweighted position in the banking sector and disappointing earnings growth from companies such as Van Der Moolen, the Dutch market maker, and Ahold, the Dutch food retailer. Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch consumer goods company, also detracted from performance.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Annual Report

Security Valuation - continued

remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 30 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default

of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

which the sales are made.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Annual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $11,202 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund as of October 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Global Equity Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Latin America index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares gained 24.48%, 24.24%, 23.63% and 23.72%, respectively, during the one-year period ending Octo-ber 31, 2003. In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index and the LipperSM Global Funds Average returned 24.24% and 23.59%, respectively. While security selection largely drove the fund's results, my regional allocation decisions also added value. I maintained a modest overweighting in Japan and Southeast Asia, while underweighting Europe - whose economies I felt would be slower to benefit from a pickup in global demand. This strategy worked well earlier in the period as Europe lagged the world market. The fund's U.S. holdings had by far the most influence on performance. Our aggressive positioning in technology helped a lot, driven by industry leaders such as Yahoo!, Motorola and EMC. Some good picks among homebuilding and medical device stocks also contributed. Japanese consumer cyclical and brokerage stocks - including NOK and Nomura Holdings, respectively - further aided results, while the fund's more-defensive positioning in Europe curbed our gains in that market. Conversely, the fund suffered from its overexposure to lagging health care stocks, including Tenet Healthcare, Cardinal Health, Johnson & Johnson and France-based Aventis.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

H For the period December 17, 1998 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1999.

I Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

For the period ended October 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These

Income Tax and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

Unrealized depreciation

(1,678,778)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

3,022,372

Capital loss carryforward

(4,995,615)

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 27,146,700

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 30 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

2. Operating Policies - continued

Futures Contracts - continued

Futures Contracts. This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $14,555 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Global Equity Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Latin America index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund's Institutional Class shares gained 25.35% during the one-year period ending October 31, 2003. In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index and the LipperSM Global Funds Average returned 24.24% and 23.59%, respectively. While security selection largely drove the fund's results, my regional allocation decisions also added value. I maintained a modest overweighting in Japan and Southeast Asia, while underweighting Europe - whose economies I felt would be slower to benefit from a pickup in global demand. This strategy worked well earlier in the period as Europe lagged the world market. The fund's U.S. holdings had by far the most influence on performance. Our aggressive positioning in technology helped a lot, driven by industry leaders such as Yahoo!, Motorola and EMC. Some good picks among homebuilding and medical device stocks also contributed. Japanese consumer cyclical and brokerage stocks - including NOK and Nomura Holdings, respectively - further aided results, while the fund's more-defensive positioning in Europe curbed our gains in that market. Conversely, the fund suffered from its overexposure to lagging health care stocks, including Tenet Healthcare, Cardinal Health, Johnson & Johnson and France-based Aventis.

G Investment income per share reflects a special dividend which amounted to $.04 per share.

H For the period December 17, 1998 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1999.

I Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These

Income Tax and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 27,146,700

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 30 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

2. Operating Policies - continued

Futures Contracts - continued

Futures Contracts. This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $14,555 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2003 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund - Class T on November 3, 1997, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM AC World Index Free ex USA did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Kevin McCarey, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor International Capital Appreciation Portfolio

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free-Latin America Index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the year ending October 31, 2003, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares gained 32.39%, 32.17%, 31.39% and 31.45%, respectively. In comparison, the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index rose 30.20% and the LipperSM International Funds Average returned 24.51%. The market environment was very conducive to the fund's aggressive style of growth investing, and investments in the semiconductor industry particularly helped performance. Dutch company ASML Holding and Tokyo Electron, both among the world's largest makers of semiconductor equipment, were strong performers. Performance also was helped by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, one of the world's largest banks, which benefited as expectations for an economic recovery increased and optimism rose about Japan's economy. On the negative side, the strong economy led capital goods stocks to perform well, and being underweighted in this area hurt the fund's relative performance. Also, some of the capital goods stocks we did own failed to perform as I hoped. For example, ABB, a Swiss conglomerate, was a strong performer, but I sold it from the fund before it rebounded. Another capital goods disappointment was Neopost, a French maker of postal equipment that encountered weak demand for its products.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results

of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales. The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 476,140,058

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 30 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable

securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .72% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $414,432 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Annual Report

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services may include payments of expenses on behalf of the fund to support distribution of fund shares for Class A and Class T ("Distribution Expense Reduction") and to pay other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees ("Other Expense Reduction") collectively referred to as "Brokerage Service Arrangements" in the accompanying table. Brokerage service arrangements generally benefits all shareholders of each class by reducing fund expenses. Each of Class A and Class T shareholders' Other Expense Reduction benefit is reduced by the amount of any Distribution Expense Reduction. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's custodian expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund as of October 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Annual Report

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Kevin McCarey, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor International Capital Appreciation Portfolio

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free-Latin America Index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the year ending October 31, 2003, the fund's Institutional Class shares gained 32.67%. During the same time frame, the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index rose 30.20% and the LipperSM International Funds Average returned 24.51%. The market environment was very conducive to the fund's aggressive style of growth investing, and investments in the semiconductor industry particularly helped performance. Dutch company ASML Holding and Tokyo Electron, both among the world's largest makers of semiconductor equipment, were strong performers. Performance also was helped by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, one of the world's largest banks, which benefited as expectations for an economic recovery increased and optimism rose about Japan's economy. On the negative side, the strong economy led capital goods stocks to perform well, and being underweighted in this area hurt the fund's relative performance. Also, some of the capital goods stocks we did own failed to perform as I hoped. For example, ABB, a Swiss conglomerate, was a strong performer, but I sold it from the fund before it rebounded. Another capital goods disappointment was Neopost, a French maker of postal equipment that encountered weak demand for its products..

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales. The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

(76,359,757)

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 476,140,058

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 30 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable

securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .72% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund

FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $414,432 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Annual Report

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services may include payments of expenses on behalf of the fund to support distribution of fund shares for Class A and Class T ("Distribution Expense Reduction") and to pay other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees ("Other Expense Reduction") collectively referred to as "Brokerage Service Arrangements" in the accompanying table. Brokerage service arrangements generally benefits all shareholders of each class by reducing fund expenses. Each of Class A and Class T shareholders' Other Expense Reduction benefit is reduced by the amount of any Distribution Expense Reduction. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's custodian expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund as of October 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Dale Nicholls, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Japan Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Latin America index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 34.78%, 34.41%, 33.72% and 33.80%, respectively, slightly trailing the TOPIX but about in line with the 33.74% return of the LipperSM Japanese Funds Average. Stock selection in the banking industry helped performance, as did an overweighting in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment group. The fund was hurt by unfavorable stock selection in software and services, and a substantial underweighting in the surging capital goods group. Several of the top-10 contributors on both an absolute basis and compared with the index were banks - including UFJ Holdings and Mizuho Financial Group. Meanwhile, semiconductor capital equipment maker Tokyo Electron was helped by generally improving trends in the semiconductor market, and in particular by strong trends in the LCD - liquid crystal display - segment. Conversely, pharmaceutical stock Takeda Chemical hurt performance, as investors looked for more dynamic growth elsewhere in a strong market environment. The same can be said for transportation provider East Japan Railway and office equipment maker Ricoh.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differ

$ 46,242,366

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the

Management Fee - continued

period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $22,648 for the period.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services may include payments of expenses on behalf of the fund to support distribution of fund shares for Class A and Class T ("Distribution Expense Reduction") and to pay other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees ("Other Expense Reduction") collectively referred to as "Brokerage Service Arrangements" in the accompanying table. Brokerage service arrangements generally benefits all shareholders of each class by reducing fund expenses. Each of Class A and Class T shareholders' Other Expense Reduction benefit is reduced by the amount of any Distribution Expense Reduction. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Dale Nicholls, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Japan Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Latin America index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 35.03%, slightly trailing the TOPIX but beating the 33.74% return of the LipperSM Japanese Funds Average. Stock selection in the banking industry helped performance, as did an overweighting in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment group. The fund was hurt by unfavorable stock selection in software and services, and a substantial underweighting in the surging capital goods group. Several of the top-10 contributors on both an absolute basis and compared with the index were banks - including UFJ Holdings and Mizuho Financial Group. Meanwhile, semiconductor capital equipment maker Tokyo Electron was helped by generally improving trends in the semiconductor market, and in particular by strong trends in the LCD - liquid crystal display - segment. Conversely, pharmaceutical stock Takeda Chemical hurt performance, as investors looked for more dynamic growth elsewhere in a strong market environment. The same can be said for transportation provider East Japan Railway and office equipment maker Ricoh.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

E Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

F For the period December 17, 1998 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1999.

G Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differ

$ 46,242,366

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the

Management Fee - continued

period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $22,648 for the period.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services may include payments of expenses on behalf of the fund to support distribution of fund shares for Class A and Class T ("Distribution Expense Reduction") and to pay other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees ("Other Expense Reduction") collectively referred to as "Brokerage Service Arrangements" in the accompanying table. Brokerage service arrangements generally benefits all shareholders of each class by reducing fund expenses. Each of Class A and Class T shareholders' Other Expense Reduction benefit is reduced by the amount of any Distribution Expense Reduction. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2003 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

B Class A's 12b-1 fee may have ranged over time between 0.25% and 0.35%, as an equivalent amount of brokerage commissions of up to 0.10% of the class's average net assets may have been used to promote the sale of class shares. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. Class A's 12b-1 plan currently authorizes a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on July 3, 2000. Returns between October 31, 1994 and June 30, 2000 are those of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund, Inc., (the Closed-End Fund).

Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End Fund. If Class A shares' total expenses had been reflected in the Closed-End Fund's performance, Class A's returns prior to July 3, 2000 may have been lower.

C Class T's 12b-1 fee may have ranged over time between 0.50% and 0.60%, as an equivalent amount of brokerage commissions of up to 0.10% of the class's average net assets may have been used to promote the sale of class shares. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. Class T's 12b-1 plan currently authorizes a 0.50% 12b-1 fee.

Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five year, and life of fund total return figures are 5%, 2%, and 0%, respectively.

E Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in returns after June 30, 2000. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on July 3, 2000. Returns between October 31, 1994 and June 30, 2000 are those of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund, Inc., (the Closed-End Fund). On June 30, 2000, the Closed-End Fund reorganized as an open-end fund through a transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the fund. Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End Fund. If Class C shares' total expenses, including its 1.00% 12b-1 fee, had been reflected in the Closed-End Fund's performance, Class C's returns, prior to July 3, 2000 may have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year, and life of fund total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund - Class T on October 31, 1994, when the Closed-End Fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Korea Composite Stock Price Index did over the same period.



Annual Report

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Agus Tandiono, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Korea Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, South Korea's Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003, returning 22.28%. The first half of the period was volatile, with weak domestic spending, concerns about North Korea's nuclear program, the Iraqi war and the discovery of accounting fraud at SK Global all weighing on share prices and driving the KOSPI down to a low of approximately 515 in March. By comparison, the second half of the period was relatively placid. A swift end to the regime of Saddam Hussein appeared to curb North Korea's belligerence, while worries about the accounting scandal faded. At the same time, South Korea's new president lowered interest rates and boosted the supplementary budget to stimulate the economy, while exports improved due to strengthening economies abroad, especially China. As a result, South Korean stocks began a sustained rally in mid-March that carried the index near the 800 level by the end of the period.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares performed about in line with the KOSPI, returning 22.32%, 21.91%, 21.40% and 21.37%, respectively. Meanwhile, the LipperSM Pacific Region ex Japan Funds Average posted a 37.16% return. Investor concerns about North Korea and SK Global primarily affected South Korean stocks, resulting in the fund's underperformance versus the Lipper average. Responding to improving conditions in the first half of the period, I gave the fund an overweighting in technology and increased its exposure to the banking industry. The fund's top contributor in absolute terms was Samsung Electronics, as rising prices for DRAM computer memory aided the stock. Also contributing to performance was Shinhan Financial Group, which became the country's second-largest bank as a result of acquiring Chohung Bank. SK Telecom was the fund's largest detractor, with most of the damage occurring in the first half of the period. The fund also was hurt by its position in Samsung Electro-Mechanics, which manufactures resistors. The stock fell in part because a price war with Japanese competitors dented profits.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Annual Report

Security Valuation - continued

remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 10,100,520

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Annual Report

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .83% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $3,348 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

B Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on July 3, 2000. Returns between October 31, 1994 and June 30, 2000 are those of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund, Inc., (the Closed-End Fund). On June 30, 2000, the Closed-End Fund reorganized as an open-end fund through a transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund (the fund). Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End fund. If the effect of Institutional Class expenses was reflected, returns may be lower than shown because Institutional Class shares of the fund may have higher total expenses than the Closed-End Fund.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund - Institutional Class on October 31, 1994, when the Closed-End Fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Korea Composite Stock Price Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Agus Tandiono, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Korea Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003, returning 22.28%. The first half of the period was volatile, with weak domestic spending, concerns about North Korea's nuclear program, the Iraqi war and the discovery of accounting fraud at SK Global all weighing on share prices and driving the KOSPI down to a low of approximately 515 in March. By comparison, the second half of the period was relatively placid. A swift end to the regime of Saddam Hussein appeared to curb North Korea's belligerence, while worries about the accounting scandal faded. At the same time, South Korea's new president lowered interest rates and boosted the supplementary budget to stimulate the economy, while exports improved due to strengthening economies abroad, especially China. As a result, South Korean stocks began a sustained rally in mid-March that carried the index near the 800 level by the end of the period.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, the fund's Institutional Class shares performed about in line with the KOSPI, returning 22.50%. Meanwhile, the LipperSM Pacific Region ex Japan Funds Average posted a 37.16% return. Investor concerns about North Korea and SK Global primarily affected South Korean stocks, resulting in the fund's underperformance versus the Lipper average. Responding to improving conditions in the first half of the period, I gave the fund an overweighting in technology and increased its exposure to the banking industry. The fund's top contributor in absolute terms was Samsung Electronics, as rising prices for DRAM computer memory aided the stock. Also contributing to performance was Shinhan Financial Group, which became the country's second-largest bank as a result of acquiring Chohung Bank. SK Telecom was the fund's largest detractor, with most of the damage occurring in the first half of the period. The fund also was hurt by its position in Samsung Electro-Mechanics, which manufactures resistors. The stock fell in part because a price war with Japanese competitors dented profits.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Security Valuation - continued

remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 10,100,520

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .83% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Claudio Brocado, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Latin America Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free-Latin America Index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12 months that ended October 31, 2003, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 52.29%, 52.06%, 51.35% and 51.23%, respectively. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Free-Latin America Index gained 59.75% and the LipperSM Latin American Funds Average gained 49.10% for the same time period. The fund was aided by overweighting Brazil relative to other Latin American markets, as Brazil outperformed expectations on the basis of a recovering currency, declining interest rates, and implementation of positive policies and reforms by newly elected President Lula da Silva. Strong stock selection, including positions in Brazilian companies such as Telebras, Petrobras and Usiminas, as well as America Movil in Mexico, moved the fund ahead of its peer group. The fund lagged the index partly because we didn't own some illiquid, infrequently traded stocks that are held in the index. Also, underweighting Chile, which had surprisingly strong performance, held back returns. Underweighting Vale do Rio (CVRD) and Copec, both outperforming stocks with high valuations, as well as overweighting Telefonos de Mexico (Telmex), a defensive stock that lagged other, higher-growth stocks, also hurt.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results

of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased on or after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Claudio Brocado, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Latin America Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free-Latin America Index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12 months that ended October 31, 2003, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 52.99%, while the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Free-Latin America Index and the LipperSM Latin American Funds Average gained 59.75% and 49.10%, respectively. The fund was aided by overweighting Brazil relative to other Latin American markets, as Brazil outperformed expectations on the basis of a recovering currency, declining interest rates, and implementation of positive policies and reforms by newly elected President Lula da Silva. Strong stock selection, including positions in Brazilian companies such as Telebras, Petrobras and Usiminas, as well as America Movil in Mexico, moved the fund ahead of its peer group. The fund lagged the index partly because we didn't own some illiquid, infrequently traded stocks that are held in the index. Also, underweighting Chile, which had surprisingly strong performance, held back returns. Underweighting Vale do Rio (CVRD) and Copec, both outperforming stocks with high valuations, as well as overweighting Telefonos de Mexico (Telmex), a defensive stock that lagged other, higher-growth stocks, also hurt.

For the period ended October 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results

of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased on or after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,223 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2003 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

A Class A's 12b-1 fee may have ranged over time between 0.25% and 0.35%, as an equivalent amount of brokerage commissions of up to 0.10% of the class's average net assets may have been used to promote the sale of class shares.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Rick Mace, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Latin America Index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares were up 30.88%, 30.68%, 29.51% and 29.69%, respectively. These returns topped the LipperSM International Funds Average, which rose 24.51%, as well as the MSCI EAFE index. Good stock selection and an overweighting in diversified financials made a significant contribution to the fund's solid relative performance. Large positions in strong-performing Japanese brokerage stocks, such as Nikko Cordial and Nomura Holdings, were particularly helpful. Elsewhere, an overweighting in the information technology sector was rewarding, as the tech sector rebounded from an extended period of weakness. The fund's holdings in the semiconductor area - including Infineon Technologies of Germany and ASML of the Netherlands - were noteworthy contributors. On the down side, weak stock picking in the consumer staples sector hurt the fund's results, with a position in Dutch food giant Unilever being its biggest detractor. A U.S. federal investigation into alleged accounting misdeeds caused the fund's positions in Dutch supermarket retailer Ahold to tumble. The fund's underweighting of strong-performing capital goods stocks also held back its relative return.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Annual Report

Security Valuation - continued

remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders.

Annual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net investment income and realized gain for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 30 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the

counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the fund's average

net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted return of all classes as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .59% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $650 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services may include payments of expenses on behalf of the fund to support distribution of fund shares for Class A and Class T ("Distribution Expense Reduction") and to pay other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees ("Other Expense Reduction") collectively referred to as "Brokerage Service Arrangements" in the accompanying table. Brokerage service arrangements generally benefits all shareholders of each class by reducing fund expenses. Each of Class A and Class T shareholders' Other Expense Reduction benefit is reduced by the amount of any Distribution Expense Reduction. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Rick Mace, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund

Mirroring the U.S. rally, most international stock markets rebounded sharply during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2003. Encouraged by improved corporate earnings, favorable interest rates and the easing of geopolitical tensions, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index - a proxy for stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.39% during the past year. From a regional perspective, all 16 countries in the MSCI Europe index - which gained 24.56% - had double-digit advances. Spain, Denmark and Sweden were among the region's best performers. In Japan, increased capital spending, exports and machinery orders helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advance 36.39%. Following the SARS epidemic, other Asian markets also rebounded. For instance, the Hong Kong market, as measured by the Hang Seng Index, gained 34.51%. Emerging markets also fared well, particularly Latin America. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Latin America Index rose 59.75%. Canadian equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, also posted an impressive annual gain, advancing 50.66%.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund's Institutional Class shares were up 31.41%. This return topped the LipperSM International Funds Average, which rose 24.51%, as well as the MSCI EAFE index. Good stock selection and an overweighting in diversified financial stocks made a significant contribution to the fund's solid performance relative to its benchmarks. In particular, large positions in strong-performing Japanese brokerage stocks, such as Nikko Cordial and Nomura Holdings, were helpful. Elsewhere, the fund's overweighting in the information technology sector was rewarding, as the tech sector rebounded from an extended period of weakness. The fund's holdings in the semiconductor area - including Infineon Technologies of Germany and ASML of the Netherlands - were noteworthy contributors. On the down side, weak stock picking in the consumer staples sector hurt the fund's results, with a position in Dutch food giant Unilever being its biggest detractor. A U.S. federal investigation into alleged accounting misdeeds caused the fund's positions in Dutch supermarket retailer Ahold to tumble. The fund's underweighting of strong-performing capital goods stocks also held back its relative return.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Annual Report

Security Valuation - continued

remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.

Annual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net investment income and realized gain for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

$ 1,348,227

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 30 days will be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which will be retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the

counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the fund's average

Management Fee - continued

net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted return of all classes as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .59% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. Class A and Class T Plans also authorize the use of brokerage commissions to pay distribution expenses. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC and the amount of distribution expenses paid with brokerage commissions were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $650 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services may include payments of expenses on behalf of the fund to support distribution of fund shares for Class A and Class T ("Distribution Expense Reduction") and to pay other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees ("Other Expense Reduction") collectively referred to as "Brokerage Service Arrangements" in the accompanying table. Brokerage service arrangements generally benefits all shareholders of each class by reducing fund expenses. Each of Class A and Class T shareholders' Other Expense Reduction benefit is reduced by the amount of any Distribution Expense Reduction. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Average Annual Total Returns

Average annual total returns take Fidelity® Advisor Value Leaders - Class T cumulative total return and show you what would have happened if Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders - Class T shares had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old. In addition, the growth of the hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund will appear in the fund's next annual report.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Annual Report

Annual Report

Foreign Currency - continued

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method.. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation

In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Average Annual Total Returns

Average annual total returns take Fidelity® Advisor Value Leaders - Institutional Class cumulative total return and show you what would have happened if Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders - Institutional Class shares had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old. In addition, the growth of the hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund will appear in the fund's next annual report.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Annual Report

Foreign Currency - continued

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method.. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation
