To travel in Tibet, you need to obtain a Tibet Travel Permit in addition to other required documents. Once you have confirmed your tour with us, we will obtain the necessary travel permit for you. To do this, we will need a clear scan of your passport picture page and your Chinese visa (which should be in your passport) at least 20 days prior to your trip. We will take care of everything else regarding your permit.
If you do not have a Chinese tourist visa (L) and are in China under alternative circumstances, you must provide additional documents. These documents may include your student certificate if you are studying as a foreigner in China, a work permit, or a residence permit.
TYPES OF CHINESE VISAS
To apply for a Tibet Travel Permit, the documentation required depends on the type of visa you hold:
- Tourist (L) visas do not require any extra documentation, and you can simply send us a copy of your passport and Chinese visa.
- Business (F) visas require a letter from your company or school along with the visa.
- Student (X) visas require proof of enrollment at your place of study, as well as a copy of your student ID and a letter from your school.
- Work (Z) visas require a copy of your work permit and an official letter from your company in addition to your passport and visa.
- Journalist (J) visas cannot be used to obtain a Tibet Travel Permit, so please contact the foreign affairs office for assistance.
- Resident (D) visas require a resident card and any other documents obtained with your resident visa when you applied.
- Crew (C) visas require a letter from your company and a copy of your crew member ID.”
