9-day Tibet Tour FAQs

1. What visas and travel permits are needed for 9-day Tibet tour?

For international travelers, you must obtain a Chinese Visa or Chinese Group Visa to visit Tibet. You need to apply for a Chinese Visa at Chinese Embassies before entering China. If you enter Tibet from Nepal, you do not need to apply for a China Visa but a Tibet Group Visa in Kathmandu. International travelers are required to apply for a Tibet Travel Permit, which is the prerequisite for your entry into Tibet. Traveling to places outside Lhasa you need to obtain an Aliens’ Travel Permit. Some regions are close to military-sensitive zones, thus necessitating a Military Area Entry Permit to visit.
