What to Prepare to Visit Tibet in 2024?

According to the new policy, tourists do not need to provide health certificates, like the Green Health Code and proof of a negative nucleic acid test, to take a flight or train to Tibet. This makes traveling to Tibet in 2024 much easier.

First of all, you need to obtain a Tibet Travel Permit, which is a must for all international travelers to enter Tibet, including expats in China. The permit cannot be applied in the name of an individual, and we can help you to get it.

Your Chinese Visa, passport (valid for a least 6 months), as well as a working certificate if you work in the mainland of China or admission certificate if you study in the mainland of China are required, to apply for the Tibet Permit. Just remember to leave at least 20 days to apply for the Tibet Permit from us, before your Tibet entry.
