How Do I Visit Tibet By Using the China-Visa Free Policy in 2025?

Currently, citizens from over 30 countries can enter and travel in China with a 15-day or 30-day visa-free stay to visit China, including the Tibet Autonomous Region. Although a Tibet Travel Permit is still necessary for a trip to Tibet, the application process has been simplified — you can now easily apply for the Tibet Travel Permit using your passport only.

During your 15-day visa-free stay in China, consider exploring popular Tibet tours like the 8-day Lhasa to Everest Base Camp tour or the 10-day classic trip covering Lhasa, Everest Base Camp, and the holy Lake Namtso for a panoramic view of the highlights of the Tibet Plateau.

Moreover, to make the most of your time, we offer a 13-day Mount Kailash tour, which allows you to visit Everest Base Camp and complete the 3-day Kailash kora during the epic overland journey from Lhasa to Kathmandu.

If you enjoy a 30-day visa-free stay in China, you can take a longer trip to fully explore Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, which takes 15 days or more. Also, it is worthwhile to spend a few weeks exploring the best of this oriental country on a China Tibet tour.
