Do International Students Studying in China Need to Apply for Tibet Travel Permit?
As long as you are a tourist holding a non-Chinese nationality passport, you need to apply for Tibet Travel Permit in order to visit Tibet smoothly. Although you still have to follow the same procedures as other foreign tourists, you can save a considerable amount of money on international flights by taking direct and domestic flights or trains to Tibet.
What to Note for International Students When Booking Tibet Tours
To ensure the successful application of Tibet Travel Permit, you need to pay attention to whether the validity period of your passport is more than six months and whether your trip to Tibet can be completed within the validity period of your Chinese student visa. Besides, you need to provide a certificate of enrollment, which is signed and sealed by a school official.
The notice regarding age is that if you are a minor student, you need to be accompanied by an adult guardian when visiting Tibet. Another point is that on Chinese websites, you will browse through many travel packages related to Tibet. However, you need to be careful to distinguish whether these are travel packages for Chinese tourists or for foreign guests. After all, as a foreign tourist, you are required to sign up for a travel package of foreign guest standards. The most distinctive feature of this type of package is that it comes with an English tour guide and includes hotels that offer English services for foreign guests.
When signing up for a group tour, there are tourists from various countries on the group, which means you can sign up for the same travel package with your classmates and friends from other countries as well as your Chinese friends. Besides, our Tibet group tours usually start with a minimum of 2 to 3 people. If you invite your friends to join, you can quickly reach the required number of people for the tour and also save on the room supplement. Alternatively, if you sign up for a private customized Tibet tour, you can start the group alone. With the standard equipment of one tour guide, one driver and one travel vehicle, you can enjoy the maximum freedom.
Conclusion
You can save more than a thousand dollars by visiting Tibet during your study period in China. So it's best to seize this golden opportunity now!

plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April
Hi! I would like to plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April (3rd to 10th ideally) to Nepal, Tibet, and, if possible, Bhutan. Do you think it would be doable? Based on what I read, there are some places/things to do to consider: Nepal: Everest Base Camp trek and the Annapurna Circuit, ancient temples, sacred sites like Lumbini, Kathmandu, Tibet: The Potala Palace in Lhasa and the Jokhang Temple. eventually the holy Mount Kailash or the high-altitude plains. Bhutan: Thimphu, Paro, and the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery. To take part in cultural traditions, yoga, meditation... Of course I am open to any recommendations you could make. For your reference, we are both based in Asia: him, in Bangkok and myself in Macau. Thank you so much for the information you could provide and, if possible, an estimated budget for your offer.
