| Tibet - Visa Information |
Passport :
A traveler should carry his/her passport with validity
not less than next six months. Make sure that it has plenty
of blank pages for visas, entry and reentry stamps and
extensions. Besides, holding other ID's like student card or
driving license will be an advantage. Loosing passport in Tibet
is very bad, as you have to go to Beijing to get new one.
Visa-Travel Permit :
Travelers to Tibet are required to obtain special Group Visa/Permit.
The visa processing is initiated only after you book a trip with
a qualified travel agency. Original passport has to be submitted
along with the Visa Application Letter (Invitation Letter) of
Tibetan Tourism Authority to the Chinese Embassy in Nepal or
abroad. We are eligible to process your visa/permit and can fax
you the Visa Application Letter (Invitation Letter) if you wish
to apply the visa abroad. Normally, Chinese embassy of Kathmandu
works on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 09 30 am to 11
am. The regular visa fee is USD 26 and you can collect the
passport on the third working day. For emergency processing,
there will be an extra fee.. |
