Content: What's the Tibet travel permit??

---

Admin Answer: If you would like to go to Tibet,you should know what's the permit first.
Tibet permit is not any kind of visa,you won't need to obtain any other Visa except China ,but you do need a permit ,just because Tibet is an area not fully opened to tourists, you must obtain a "Tibet Travel Permit" before your departure to Tibet

1. Tibet Travel Permit

　Tibet travel permit is a Pass that means you may get into the Lhasa city,the capital of tibet. Here are some major cities to get into Tibet : Kunming Chengdu,Beijing,Xian,Shanghai,Guangzhou, Xining, though expensive Landcruiser trip from Yunnan to Lhasa is also possible and you can also find plane ticket to Lhasa from remote Zhongdian(Shangri-la of Yunnan). If you are going to take train or plane from the cities listed above, you must get the original copy of Permit. And also you should be wared that this "Tibet Travel Permit" is only effective in "Lhasa Municipality". Should you venture to other places outside Lhasa Municipality, you need to get another permit which is called "Alien Travel Permit".
(There is a rumor in webs that the "Tibet Travel Permit" would be gone after train to Lhasa started, but so far the policy still not changed. Some may get suggested by other travelers that they were not checked when they travel to Tibet, but that just because they are very lucky. If you get caught without "Tibet Travel Permit", you can be taken to Police Station , fined and sent back to where you started your trip before.)

2. Alien Travel Permit

　"Alien Travel Permit" is easy and quick to get in Lhasa or Shigatze. you just need to join in a organaized tour by local travel agency for foriegn tourists or a private tour. An Alien Travel Permit is required for travel into certain restricted areas of Tibet (most of the Tibet Autonomous Region) and the tourist holds the permit. Normally travel agencies can help foreign tourists apply for the permit once they have arrived in Tibet.

3. Military Permit

　To travel to the southern and western bounderies of Tibet, apart from "Tibet Travel Permit" and "Alien Travel Permit", another "Military Permit" is also a must. Most of people going there to visit Mt. Kailash, Guge Kingdom or do the overland trip through Xinzang Road (the road lies between Xinjiang Urgur Autonomous Region and Tibet Autonomous Region) to Kashgar or travel in Nyingtri Prefecture. Since you are not allowed to travel by your own, the "Military Permit" can be only arranged by Travel agency and you have to join in a group or a private tour again.
Just keep this in mind: Travel to Tibet or those restricted area in T.A.R without proper permit mentioned above, you can expect be fined, detained in police station or sent back to where you started your trip. If you made your trip without permit and problem, that doesn't mean that you are not required a permit, only because you are a lucky guy. Good luck and enjoy your trip
All kinds of people can get Tibet permit through a travel agency except diplomats, journalists, and government officials who should travel to Tibet under the arrangement by the Foreign Affairs Office of Tibet Government.
