Tibet Travel Permit

The permit is our problem, not yours

Every foreign passport needs a Tibet Travel Permit, and no embassy issues it — only a registered Tibet agency can file the application. We do it every day.

15–20 working days

Standard lead time before departure. Book three to four weeks out and the timeline takes care of itself.

Two scans, no visits

A passport copy and your China visa page are all we need. No embassy queue, no office visit.

Free with every tour

Permit filing is included in every Tibet Daily booking, group or private. No service fee.

How it works

From inquiry to Lhasa in three steps

Pick a route and month

Choose an itinerary, or tell us your dates and interests and we reply with a day-by-day plan and one price.

We file the paperwork

The Tibet Travel Permit, plus any Aliens’ or military add-ons your route needs, filed with the authorities in Lhasa. Originals reach you before boarding.

Fly or ride in, acclimatise, go

Your guide meets you in Lhasa (3,656 m). The first two days stay low while your body adjusts; then the route climbs.

Good to know

Tibet travel, answered

Do I need a permit to visit Tibet?

Every foreign passport holder does. The Tibet Travel Permit is issued only through registered Tibet agencies — no embassy or consulate handles it — and checks come at airports, train stations and hotels. Tibet Daily files it free with every booking. The main exception: Hong Kong and Macau Chinese travellers entering on the Home Return Permit, who need no permit at all.

Can I travel Tibet independently?

No. Foreign travellers need a booked tour with a licensed guide, and a private vehicle for any route beyond Lhasa. A fixed-departure group seat is how most travellers keep the cost close to independent levels.

When is the best time to visit Tibet?

The main season runs April to October. May to June and September to October bring the clearest mountain views; July and August are warmer but wetter. Winter Lhasa is sunny, quiet and noticeably cheaper — only high passes and remote west Tibet are hard going.

Train or flight to Lhasa?

The Qinghai–Tibet Railway from Xining crosses the plateau in daylight and helps acclimatisation; flights from Chengdu, Xi’an or Kathmandu save a day. Train boarding requires the original permit, so train itineraries build in courier time — Tibet Daily handles that scheduling.

What about altitude in Tibet?

Lhasa sits at 3,656 m. Tibet Daily itineraries hold the first two days at city altitude before climbing, and guides carry oxygen on high routes. Most travellers adjust within 48 hours; come rested and skip alcohol on day one.

How much does a Tibet tour cost?

A group seat costs a fraction of a private tour on the same route; exact pricing depends on season, route and hotel level. Every quote covers guide, vehicle, accommodation, entrance tickets and all permit filing — the permit itself is never a paid extra.
