  Traveler•Written February 2026
  I plan to organize the journey to Tibet myself. Is there anything else I need to consider apart from the Tibet Travel Permit?
- Top China TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  We have it on May 6. The Tibet Travel Permit will be applied about 15 days before your arrival. You'd better take the altitude sickness into consideration while planning to visit Tibet.

  Would it be possible to arrive a day earlier so that I can acclimatize to the altitude?

  Traveler•Written March 2026
  As far as I know, foreigners are only allowed to take organized tours in Tibet. Would it be a problem for obtaining the Tibet Travel Permit if I spent a day in Lhasa on my own before the tour started?
- Top China TravelOperator•Written March 2026
  Our confirmed date of the group tour are starting on May, 6, May, 8, May, 25 and June, 15. The altitude of Lhasa and Lake Yamdrok is not very high, and most of the travelers can get used to it soon. It is better to get the Tibet Travel Permit for the date of the group tour.

  I've read that the Tibet Travel Permit is only issued for travel groups of at least 5 people. Will the group on May 8 be large enough?

  Traveler•Written March 2026
  I have received conflicting information regarding the Tibet Travel Permit. Some sources say that a visa for China is necessary if you want to enter Tibet. Other sources say that the Tibet Travel Permit is issued to Germans even without a visa. Do I need a visa for China to apply for the Tibet Travel Permit or not?

  Traveler•Written March 2026
  As a German citizen, I don't need a visa to enter China. Can I apply for the Tibet Travel Permit without a visa for China?

  Traveler•Written March 2026
  Will I get a refund for the tour if the Tibet Travel Permit is not approved?
- Top China TravelOperator•Written March 2026
  We will help you with applying the Tibet Travel Permit. No worries. Your passport is needed for applying the Tibet Travel Permit, not visa. Our cancellation policy is full refund 30 days before the tour.
