Visa and Permit for Singapore Tibet tour

Tibet Travel Permit

Tibet Travel Permit, also known as Tibet Visa or Tibet Entry Permit, is an indispensable travel permit for international tourists to enter Tibet. It should be obtained through a local Tibetan tour agency like Tibet Horizon since individual applications are not accepted by Tibet Tourism Bureau. With our help, you will get the Tibet Travel Permit without going through any troublesome application procedure.

Chinese Visa

A Chinese Visa is an official document issued by Chinese diplomatic missions, consular posts, or other authorized institutions abroad, allowing foreign tourists to visit China. All foreign tourists, except those exempt based on bilateral agreements or regulations, are required to apply for a Chinese Visa to travel to China, including Tibet. This is a prerequisite for obtaining other necessary permits for travel within China, such as the Tibet Travel Permit.

Currently, Singaporean tourists are eligible for a visa-free stay of up to 30 days when traveling to China. Therefore, you don’t need a Chinese Visa to travel to Tibet. During this 30-day visa-free period, you can enjoy a month-long Tibet tour to explore Tibet's natural beauty.

Additional Permits (Depending on Your Itinerary)

Alien’s Travel Permit: It is required for visiting certain border areas of Tibet, such as Mount Everest Base Camp, Samye Monastery, Basumtso Lake, etc.
Military Area Entry Permit and Foreign Affairs Permit: They are necessary for some military areas or regions with special diplomatic considerations, such as Mount Kailash in the Ngari region.
