Tibet Travel permit is

Shigatse, Tsedang, Samye,
Sakya, Mt.Everest,
Mt.Kailash, Nepal border,
Nyinchi, ect. It is
mandatory that you take a
tour package and travel with

We forward full passport
details to TTB (Tibet
Tourism Board) through our
agent in Tibet. After the
Tibet Travel permit is
issued by TTB, our agent
faxes the details to us and
the second copy is sent to
the Chinese Embassy. The
Chinese Embassy issues the
visa only after receipt of
the original passport and
the Tibet Travel Permit on
fixed visa days, which is on
Monday, Wednesday and
Friday. Visa is issued on a
paper, which mentions the
names and passport details
of all the members traveling
in a group. This is called
the group visa. The visa is
valid for the duration of
the tour as specified in the
itinerary. Group visa once
issued cannot be separated
after entry into Tibet.
Hence the group has to
travel together throughout
the trip and separation from
the group is not permitted
while in Tibet. |
