Tibet Permit Fee Refund Policy Explained
Planning a journey to Tibet begins with understanding one unavoidable truth: your Tibet Travel Permit is not a standalone document you can purchase separately, nor is its fee ever itemized apart from your tour package. This is not a choice made by travel agencies but a strict requirement set by current Tibetan tourism regulations, which mandate that only Chinese-registered travel agencies may apply for and issue permits on behalf of foreign visitors. There are no exceptions—this is simply how the system operates.
Fortunately, flexibility exists for travelers whose plans change. If you must cancel your trip for personal reasons, you may request a full refund of your entire tour package, including the permit fee, provided you notify our travel agency at least twenty days before your scheduled departure. This twenty-day window allows our travel agency sufficient time to halt permit processing, reallocate resources, and process your refund.
The situation changes, however, once your Tibet Travel Permit has been officially approved and issued. In this situation, the permit fee becomes non-refundable. If you want to cancel your itinerary, our travel agency is obligated to deduct 400 RMB from your refund to cover the Tibet Travel Permit processing cost. The remaining balance of your tour package will still be returned.
There is one scenario where your Tibet Travel Permit fee can be refunded in full: when permit denial results from genuine force majeure events beyond anyone's control, such as extreme weather warnings, or last-minute policy adjustments by local authorities. In these rare cases, no permit fee is charged, and you can receive a complete refund of their tour package.
