Necessary Tibet Travel Permits Documents 2018

 Passport --Must-need document for Tibet travel in 2018

All individuals entering Tibet must hold a passport valid for at least six months.

 

B   China Visa or Tibet Group Visa---Must-need document for Tibet travel in 2018

 

1. Entering Tibet via Mainland China, firstly you need to apply China visa for entry to China
Tibet is part of China, under the Chinese Central Government's Sovereignty. Thus, to travel from China to Tibet, you have to obtain a China Visa before getting to Tibet. Visas for individual travel in China are very easy to get from most Chinese embassies. Most Chinese embassies and consulates will issue a standard 30-day, single entry tourist visa in three to five working days (an 'L' Visa means travel). If you are lucky, some embassies abroad may give you a 60 or even 90 days. But in Hong Kong it is very easy to get a 90-day visa; most agencies can arrange it in one day. If you want more flexibility to enter and leave China several times, most Chinese embassies will issue a double-entry visa. For those who work, study or live temporarily in China, you may need the other related China Visa such as "F" Visa, "X" Visa or "Z" Visa, etc. All these kind of visa holders can travel in Tibet with the Tibet entry permits and other travel permits which can be obtained by local travel agency in Tibet with strict and serious procedure.

Tips when you apply for a China visa to Tibet:
You'd better not mention Tibet or any places in Tibet such as Lhasa, Everest as your travel destination when applying for China visa (China Embassy in Kathmandu is the exceptional) because you may be refused by stating that you will go there. Otherwise, you need to get a Tibet Permit beforehand and apply for a China visa with it then which gets more complicated. 


2. Entering Tibet via Nepal by land or air

If you want to enter Tibet from Nepal, you have to get your TIBET GROUP VISA in the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu, no matter whether you have already Chinese visa or not. Tibet Group Visa is a A4 size sheet of paper, with all members of the tour and their passport numbers, date of birth and occupations listed. The dates of entry and exit are precisely mentioned. Usually, the visa is valid for the length of the trip you have booked but it's possible to get visa for few additional days, for stay in Lhasa only. There will be two original copies of Group Visa, one for immigration at the entry and one for exit. We can easily help you with the Tibet Group visa application.

 Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB) Permits-Tibet Entry permits

Tibet entry permit first page and second page covering your travel info and names, etc.

Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB) Permits are necessary for entry to Lhasa or any other part of the Tibetan Autonomous Region and are obtained through tour operators as part of arrangements for travel; A T.T.B. permit does not obviate the need for an Aliens' Travel Permit for any closed areas that may be visited. 

After you decide to travel with us, we will help you to obtain your Tibet Travel Permits. It will be quite simple for you, just need to send us:

Full name | Gender | Date of birth | Passport number | Nationality | Occupation 
Also, we need the photos copies of passport and Chinese visa by email attachment or fax. 

Keep in mind:
1) All info should be exactly the same as on your passport. And you need to tell us your occupation because journalists and people that could be involved in political matters could be revoked (they need more complicated procedure to get a permit).

2) Please note that if you do not book any tour from us, we cannot help you get the permits. No travel agency can provide "permit-only" service. A must service includes tour vehicle and tour guide. Here are some important issues about Tibet Travel Permit.

D   Aliens' Travel Permits (PSB's)

Permits to visit places that are not declared open are known as Aliens' Travel Permits, or PSB's. They are issued by the police (Public Security Bureau, "PSB"). A single permit is normally issued to all the people who are traveling together, the permit naming just one of them and stating how many others are accompanying him; the passports, or at least photocopies of passports and visas, of all persons traveling must be presented in order to obtain a permit.

Exception
1. If you only travel to Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse, there is no need to apply PSB.

2. If you want to do an overland tour from Yunnan, Sichuan, Qinghai or Xinjiang province to Tibet, we need your Entry Stamp to China to apply the PSB before your tour starts. quick Links to: China visa, Nepal Visa 

E   Tibet Military Permit and Foreign Affairs Permit 2019

 Tibet Military Permit and Foreign affairs permit documents are for travel to some military sensitive areas such as Yunnan/Sichuan to Tibet overland, Kailash Manasarovar, Pomi, etc. These documents are important and normally the application needs to be prepared one month in advance. So early tour confirmation with local Tibet travel agent is necessary.
