    Great Tibet TourOperator•Written November 2025

    Under the current policy, you can fly directly from Kathmandu to Lhasa with a Chinese visa issued in your country. A Group China Visa is not a must. If the policy changes in 2026, we can help you apply for a Group China visa.

    We plan to start at Lhasa on Nov 2 or Oct 29. If we go via Kathmandu, should we plan to stay in KTM for a couple of days for the Group China visa? How much would it cost for Great Tibet to request for it?
  • 

    Great Tibet TourOperator•Written November 2025

    If you need to apply for a China Group Visa, it usually takes three working days, and their working hours are from 9:00 to 11:00 am. You need to apply for it yourself in Kathmandu, which costs about USD175 per person for US citizens and USD110 per person for Philippine citizens. You can also entrust a local Nepal operator to help, which costs an extra service fee of USD15-35 per person. If you prefer, we can recommend a local operator. We'll provide documents for the Group China Visa application if you book the tour with us.

    Would you be able to help us secure the visa for Tibet. How many days should we arrive early in Kathmandu if we want to take Oct 31,2026 tour?
  • 

    Great Tibet TourOperator•Written November 2025

    If you are required to apply for a China Group Visa, I suggest you arrive in Kathmandu on 26 October 2026. You can apply for the visa on 27th and obtain it on 29th. There's a direct flight to Lhasa departing on 30th based on the current schedule. We can open the tour for you departing on 30th. If you don't need a group visa, you can arrive in Kathmandu on 29th.

    Great Tibet TourOperator•Written December 2025

    You can apply for the China Visa at the nearby Chineses embassy. During your China Visa application, if Chinese embassies request more details of your tour, we are happy and capable of providing you with the supporting docs for you to apply for China visa, like an invitation letter and itinerary. Please do not mention Tibet during your China Visa application. After you obtain the China visa, we can apply for the Tibet Travel Permit for you with the copy of your passport and China visa. Then you can fly to Tibet from Kathmandu.

    just to recap, we can apply for Chinese visa in the US presenting your invitation and itinerary? Not mention Tibet. And you can work on our Tibet and Nepal visa. Will these visa be included in the tour or addition? We are looking to take the 13-day Nepal Tibet Bhutan tour with expected arrival in Lhasa on Oct 31st. We'll have to purchase our flights from US to Kathmandu then Kathmandu to Lhasa. Do you advice that we stay overnight in Kathmandu? How much would be our deposit and sheduled payment of balance?

    May I move the itinerary in Kathmandu on Day 11 and 12 to Oct 30, 31 and Nov 2 while waiting for Chinese Group Visa?
  • 

    Great Tibet TourOperator•Written December 2025

    Yes, the tour includes the Tibet visa and the Bhutan visa. Nepal visa is an arrival visa, and you can apply for it at the airport. Yes, you can stay one night in Kathmandu. I recommend you apply for the China Visa in the US. Because the China Group Visa needs 4 travelers to apply for it together, and you need to stay about 4 working days in Kathmandu. We can find other 2 Nepali to help you apply, but it needs the service and application fees. Yes, you can visit Kathmandu first and wait for the China Group Visa.

  • 

    Great Tibet TourOperator•Written December 2025

    At least one month before you fly to China. I suggest applying two months in advance. It's up to you. Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu,etc, are all acceptable options. You can apply for a Chinese visa either before or after booking the tour.

    If the tour starts on 5 November, I suggest you arrive in Kathmandu on 1st November, and apply for the China Group Visa on 2 November. The working hour is 9:00-11:00 am. If you arrive in Kathmandu around 5:00 am on 2 November, you can apply for the visa that day. We can help you process the visa application.

    How much is china group visa processing? When I book this tour, should I include this as additional service? Does this tour include other visa processing - Nepal multi entry and Tibet?
  • 

    Great Tibet TourOperator•Written December 2025

    You can pay the Group Visa fee and service fee directly to our Nepal operator. I'll check the price and get back to you. The 13-day tour price includes the Bhutan visa and Tibet Permit. A Nepal visa is an arrival visa, and you can apply for it at the Nepal border.
