Short Travel Information To Tibet

Travelers must obtain special permission to travel to any part of China, including Tibet. Not everyone gets a permit every time. During a certain period, foreigners are not allowed to enter Tibet, which is restricted. Tibet has always remained a sensitive area for traveling.

In Tibet, usually, the Lasha and part of Shan and Nan are open to foreigners, and sometimes there are some parts where you can make an excursion around; if you do enter a restricted area without the requisite permission, you would be fined, taken into custody, and deported for illegal entry.

Therefore, you must know every custom, rule, and regulation. It would help if you had a visa and a passport with six months of validity to enter China. If you do not have a valid passport and the appropriate Chinese visa, you will not be allowed to enter China, will be fined, and will be subject to immediate deportation.

Tibet Travel Permits

Two kinds of permits are issued for traveling in Tibet—the entry permit, also called the TTB permit, and the Alien travel permit, known as the PSB permit.

TTB permit: Tibet Entry Permit

Tibet Tour Permit is issued by the Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB). Therefore, this sort of permission is also called a TTB permit. You must show this permit when checking in at the airport or before buying a flight to Lhasa. This permit is required for groups traveling by vehicle.

PSB permit—Alien Travel Permit
The alien travel permit is also called the PSB permit. Tibet’s Public Security Bureau (PSB) issued this permission, which is required to travel in restricted areas in Tibet.

How To Get Travel Permits For Tibet?

We do have local agents in Tibet. Therefore, we request you to provide us with the information given in the following before your visit:

Essential notes on obtaining a visa
The Chinese government does not issue visas for travelers wishing to visit Tibet. For the group permit, you mainly need two documents: the Chinese visa, which you can apply for in the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu or your respective country, and the Alien’s travel permit issued by the Tibet Tourism Bureau.
