China Visa and Tibet Travel Permit for Norwegian Citizens

Norwegian passport holders enjoy a 30-day visa-free policy, but you must obtain a Chinese Visa before your Chinese trip if your whole stay in China exceeds the time frame. You need to make sure your passport remains valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from China. The Chinese Visa alone does not permit travel to Tibet. All foreign visitors require a Tibet Travel Permit, which we arrange as part of your tour package as you can not apply for it by yourself. For itineraries including restricted areas like EBC, Mount Kailash or Lake Mansarovar, additional permits-the Aliens’ Travel Permit and sometimes a Military Area Entry Permit-are necessary. Our agency manages the complete application process for all required documentation.

How to Get to Tibet from Norway

Travelers from Norway have primary two routing options to reach Tibet, each offering distinct travel experiences.

A. Travel to Tibet via Chinese Mainland

This reliable route involves flying from Oslo, Tromsø, or Bergen to major Chinese hubs like Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu or Kunming. From these cities, direct flights to Lhasa take approximately 2-4 hours. For a more gradual acclimatization and spectacular scenery, consider the Tibet train trip through the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, an engineering marvel that offers breathtaking views of the Tibetan plateau. You may also drive overland from Yunnan to Tibet.

B. Travel to Tibet via Kathmandu, Nepal

This route adds cultural depth to your journey. Fly from Norway to Kathmandu, typically with connections in major European or Middle Eastern hubs. From Kathmandu, choose between a dramatic 1.5-hour flight to Lhasa over the Himalayas or an adventurous overland journey through the scenic Gyirong Port border crossing. A more exciting choice is taking flights to Nepalgunj and then to Simikot, from where you can take a helicopter to Hilsa near the Purang Port.

We provide oxygen support in vehicles and accommodations, and recommend consulting your physician about altitude medication before departure.
