capacity of Tibet, when non-Chinese citizens, including foreign tourists,
Taiwan tourists and overseas Chinese travel to China, you need not only a
Chinese Visa but also Tibet permit. The only way to enter Tibet is to travel in

Visa, which you can apply for in Chinese Embassy in your country, one is Tibet
Permit, which you have to obtain it in advance in order to enter places like
Lhasa in Tibet, one is the Alien's Travel Permit when you are planning to
travel to the closed areas in Tibet which you can obtain it after you arrive in
Tibet, and the other is the Military Permit, which you have to obtain if you
are planning to travel to some military sensitive areas.

Enter Tibet from Nepal
According to Chinese Law, travelers who
enter Tibet from Nepal or India are required to apply for Group Tourist Visa.
This visa must be obtained at Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu. Travelers have to
enter China and leave China in a specified period of time which is given
according to tour itinerary provided by travel agency and no more than 30 days.
This visa is usually not placed in your passport, but is a sheet of paper that
lists all of the names of the people in your group along with their
nationalities, birth dates and passport numbers. This group visa is usually not
able to extend. To obtain a China Visa
in Nepal, you will need to allow about 4 days in Nepal for the visa application
and Tibet permit to be processed. It takes at least 2 working days (Any day
among Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) to obtain a visa from the Chinese Embassy
in Nepal.
