Answered by Tibet Vista

Dear Kumar, Thank you for reaching out and we are here to help. Since you have a Z visa (work Chinese Visa), you need to have a certificate (or proof of employment) from your company or school to prove your purpose for visiting Tibet. Then, email the images of your passport information page and Chinese Visa to us, with which we can help you apply for the Tibet Travel Permit for free. A recommended itinerary for you and your students is the 5 Days Lhasa and Yamdrok Lake Small Group Tour. You can explore the iconic attractions in Lhasa with an excursion to the turquoise holy Yamdrok Lake. Brilliant!
