Obtaining a Tibet Travel Permit for International Visitors



The Tibet Permit is a necessary travel document that you must get after receiving your Chinese visa. This permission permits you to visit Tibet and is issued by the Tibet Tourism Development Committee in Lhasa. You won't be able to access it anyplace else, including Chinese embassies and authorities in other areas of the world.

The permission will be provided within a week of your arrival in Lhasa and is only available through an authorized travel agency. The agency that will assist you will have a limited period of time to provide it to you. Remember that Tibet has a travel policy called the Tibet Travel Regulations, which requires all international tourists to book trips through a local travel operator in Lhasa. This local travel agency will organize trip services, such as a tour guide, a private car, and a Tibet admission visa.

Generally, you'll have two choices for getting the Tibet Permit China:

The firm may deliver it to your hotel in a transit city in China. Simply provide the agency with the hotel's Mandarin and English address, phone number, and hotel booking number, and they will send you the original copy. You should notify the hotel that you are receiving a package from Lhasa and arrange to pick it up at check-in.

Have an agent bring the permit to the airport. If you don't want to spend the night in a hotel, I propose Chengdu as your changeover city. As you leave the arrival gate, the delivery agent will be waiting for you, carrying your name. Send the agency your phone number and messaging app information so that they may contact you if there are any complications at the airport.

Taking the train to Lhasa

If you're riding the train to Lhasa during your Tibet Railway Tours, you'll need to provide a copy of your permission twice: once before leaving and again upon arriving. The agency will send you an email with a scanned image of the Permit. For individuals traveling by rail from Chongqing to Lhasa, the original copy of the permission must be presented at the Chongqing train station.
