When foreigners enter Tibet, they should know how to go through the formalities.

In view of Xizang Autonomous Region's current transportation, tourism infrastructure and reception capacity, the government encourages the development of group tours and adopts the method of going through the formalities of entering Tibet with a confirmation letter. (1) confirmation letter of foreign guests entering Tibet: 1. Team: Any organized overseas travel team traveling to Tibet must go through the confirmation formalities at the reception office of Xizang Autonomous Region International Travel Service. (The confirmation letter of entering Tibet is issued by Tibet Tourism Bureau [TTB]) 2. Relevant information provided by tourists: name, gender, nationality, occupation, date of birth, valid passport and a copy of visa are submitted to the travel agency for application, and the application procedure takes about 10- 14 days. You can provide the above information by letter, fax and email. Passports and visas: Foreign tourists or climbers coming to Tibet must hold passports issued by their own countries and visas issued by China embassies and consulates abroad. However, tourists from countries that have signed visa-free agreements with China are excluded. (2) The entry procedure for Hong Kong and Macao personnel to Tibet is 1, and Hong Kong and Macao tourists can go to Tibet with the Home Visit Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Compatriots (issued before 1998 and valid for 10) or the Pass for Hong Kong and Macao Residents to and from the Mainland. Hong Kong and Macao tourists still need to stay in foreign-related designated hotels and restaurants during their stay in Tibet, and strictly implement the system of separate registration and summary reporting of foreign-related hotels and restaurants to local public security organs. 2. Hong Kong and Macao tourists who enter the Tibet border management zone shall be managed in accordance with the Measures for the Administration of Passport Issuance in Xizang Autonomous Region Border Management Zone, and shall be received by Xizang Autonomous Region Travel Agency, and shall go to the Frontier Corps of the autonomous region to apply for border passes. (3) The procedures for people from Taiwan Province Province to enter Tibet are basically the same as those for foreign guests. Only one more procedure is to sign in Taiwan Province Province. (4) How do domestic tourists (including Hong Kong and Macao personnel) apply for border defense certificates? If you are a citizen of China people, you can enter Tibet with your ID card, but Tibet has a special geographical position. In many places, you must have a border card to enter. Many places began to check their border cards in places more than 0/00 kilometers away from the border/kloc-,such as Yadong, Zhangmu and Ali, which all need to pass the border cards. It's best to apply for a border card at the location of the ID card, which is not only simple, but also very cheap. The following places can be written on the border card: "Dingri County, Zhangmu, Ali District, Medog County and Milin County in Xizang Autonomous Region". Or simply ask the public security bureau which places in Tibet belong to the border control zone, and then write them all down! 1. Local handling method: If you don't apply for the border defense certificate in advance, it is much cheaper to handle it in Lhasa than in Shigatse. A card here costs more than 30 yuan in total, which is said to reach more than 100 in Shigatse. However, if you can go back to the local area, the money can be refunded, because the biggest part is the deposit. In addition, in Tibet, you need a letter of introduction from the unit stationed in Tibet. There are two places to go to Lhasa to apply for a border card. Go to Lhasa Public Security Bureau first. Look east at the intersection at the northern end of Xiaozhaosi Road. With your ID card and letter of introduction, you can get a letter of introduction to open a border card. Then come out of the Armed Police Frontier Corps. There is a small room near the gate of the frontier defense corps to handle the border defense certificate. The card fee is 8 yuan, and the deposit is 30 yuan. The refundable deposit will be refunded within the specified time. 2.
