Before Entering Tibet

Before Entering Tibet
By Amine Rahal

Overseas tourists planning on entering tibet must first obtain a Chinese L-visa (Tourist visa) from the Chinese Embassy or Consulate of their region. An exception applies to those who reside in countries that have signed special agreements with China. A list of those countries can be found online.

The tourist must then apply for the Tibet Travel Permit at the same Embassy or Consulate. When applying for this permit, foreign tourists are asked to submit basic identification information (including name, nationality, age, sex, occupation, and passport number), route to and point of entrance, approximate travel time, travel intentions, telephone contact information and other materials, to designated offices of the TTB. This can be done directly or through travel agencies. A copy of the Chinese visa and first page of the tourist's passport need to be faxed or emailed to the TTB (Tibet Travel Bureau). Tourists should receive confirmation for travel to Tibet within two to four business days.

The Tibet Travel Permit is usually issued instantly upon receipt of copies of the tourist's passport and visa. Checking and approval of the letter however requires three working days. To avoid any possible conflict with airline tickets, hotel reservations, scheduled guides and vehicles, tourists are suggested to begin the application procedures as early as possible. This is a necessary step for anyone planning on visiting Tibet. When you fly from any city to Lhasa you will need to show this permit when you check in at the airport. Most travel agencies will ask to see this permit before selling you the flight ticket.
