The permit is usually delivered as an electronic file — print it in colour and carry it with you. 5. The fee covers permit processing only; transport, accommodation and guiding are not included.

FAQ

Do children and seniors need separate applications?
Yes — permits are issued per person, so each traveller needs their own document details and permit. Children must have their own document such as a passport and cannot simply be listed under an accompanying adult.
Can I still use my permit after renewing my passport?
No. The permit is tied to the document number, so after a renewal the old permit cannot be verified and a new application must be submitted with the new passport. If the permit has already been issued, contact us as early as possible so the follow-up can be arranged.
How far in advance should I apply for the permit?
Submit as early as possible once your dates and itinerary are fixed, and leave enough room for processing. Peak season and holidays are busier and take longer; itineraries that enter border areas need extra time for the border pass. For late bookings, express processing is available.
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 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.
