Hot Q&A
What visitors ask most about Tibet Travel Permit Booking System
What is the Tibet Travel Permit, and do I need one?
The Tibet Travel Permit is the entry document foreign travellers need to travel in Tibet, filed on their behalf by a local travel service in Tibet. Travellers with a foreign passport or Taiwan-related documents usually need one; travellers with a mainland Chinese ID card generally do not, but need a border pass for border areas.
What documents are required?
Usually a clear photo of the passport (or equivalent travel document) data page, a photo of the Chinese visa page where applicable, entry and exit dates, route and accommodation, and occupation. For border areas, specify the exact areas you plan to visit.
How long does processing take?
Standard applications are usually completed within a few working days once materials are complete and the itinerary settled, counting from the point materials pass review; supplementation time and holidays are excluded. Express shortens the cycle through priority handling but does not change the requirements.
What is the difference between the permit and a border pass?
The permit covers entering Tibet; the border pass covers entering border areas such as Everest, Ngari, Yadong and Zhangmu. They cover different scopes, and itineraries touching border areas usually need both.
Is the permit electronic or on paper?
It is usually emailed to the address on your order and you print it in colour yourself; in some cases a paper original may be required and you will be told separately. The permit must match your document, and must not be lent to anyone else.
What if my itinerary changes?
If your entry dates or route change, contact us as early as possible; adding a border area requires a supplementary border pass declaration. Serious inconsistency with the declared information can affect verification, so make changes before departure.
