    Important Issues about Tibet Travel Permit

    1. 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.

    2. After having a permit, a travel agency could buy you the air tickets, and you can pass the check-in at the airport and the check point reroute with the permit. If you take choose Train to Tibet you will have to show your Travel Permit to the conductor before your board the train.

    3. Only the guide could hold the permit after you establish yourself on Tibet land. You are not allowed to bring with it and travel to anywhere you want because except Lhasa you need another permit named as "Aliens’ Permit". Otherwise if you are stopped by the police you will be sent out of Tibet or have trouble politically and economically. Furthermore, the travel agency which helped to get you the permit will also be in trouble.

    Therefore seriously not any legitimate travel agency could sell you the Tibet permit if you do not book a tour with them. We dont think you would like to be in trouble due to a "sold" Tibet permit after you pay a lot of money for the tour.

    4. There is a service charge (by the government) to get the Tibet permit. And it takes time, paper work, transportation fee and delivery fee for us to get a permit for you, so ATT will charge an extra fee for the permits.

    How much is Tibet permit?

    Answer: First of all, please note that we never SELL a permit. We only help you abtain a permit from the local authority. As mentioned above, the cost for a permit includes the charge by the government and the service fee by ATT. Usually this cost is included in the quotation for a package tour.

    How long can I get Tibet Permit?

    Answer: Generally it needs three days to get the Tibet permit if you could supply the full necessary documents. But if it needs another 3 days (or more) to Express Deliver the permit.
