Passport and Visa
You should have a passport with validity of at least six months from the date of arriving Tibet. You should be very careful of your documents in Tibet because if you lose a passport you need to go to Beijing to get a new one, which is very far away.

People traveling to Tibet from Nepal must be in group-visa that is issued to organized tour groups irrespective of the number of participants in a paper format, i.e. the visa will be on a separate sheet of paper and not on your passport.

For the Visa Booking process, we need your passport details, with the details of your residence and profession along with the trip confirmation at least two weeks in advance of your trip. For smooth processing you should be in Kathmandu with the passport one day before the visa application acceptance day of Chinese embassy.

The Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu accepts visa applications on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 0930 hrs to 1100 hrs only.
