Chinese Embassy in Nepal: How to Get Chinese Group Visa
Whether you choose to fly to Tibet or enter Tibet by road from Nepal, you cannot do so without a Chinese group visa, unless you come from a country where China offers visa-free access. The process of obtaining a Chinese group visa is no more complicated than that of obtaining a regular Chinese visa. However, there are some insider tips you need to know.
Individuals Cannot Apply f or Chinese Group Visa
Just as its name implies, Chinese group visas are only issued to tour groups with at least four tourists, so individuals are not eligible to apply. As a solo traveler, you can rest assured to know that our travel agency has a large number of tourists traveling from Kathmandu to Lhasa. We will apply for your Chinese group visa with other tourists as a group according to your tour schedule. At that time, you and your group members will enter and leave Tibet together at the designated time and place marked on the group visa.
Do You Need to Go to the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu in Person to Apply for a Chinese Group Visa?
You don't need to go to the Embassy in Kathmandu in person to apply for the Chinese group visa. Our travel agency will apply for it on your behalf. However, you still need to arrive in Kathmandu at least five days in advance and head to our travel agency's office in Kathmandu, to bring your original passport, provide us with a photo of your personal identification, fill out an application form, and pay for the visa fee. The reason why it is said to be at least five days in advance is that the processing time for Chinese group visas by the Chinese embassy is approximately five days.
How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Tibet Trip from Nepal?
This itinerary involves cross-border procedures, so you need to book your Tibet Nepal trip at least 20 days in advance so that the procedures for your Tibet Travel Permit can begin. You also need to take into account the fact that the embassy is not open during holidays, as well as the fact that the processing procedures for the Tibet Travel Permit may be delayed during peak seasons, etc. Your safest and most reliable choice is to book your Tibet tour as early as possible, and you can also get some exclusive seasonal discounts. If you come to visit Tibet on a whim, the most urgent deadline is subject to what our travel consultant tells you.
Conclusion
Finally, Chinese group visa is a single-entry visa valid for 30 days. Once the group visa takes effect, all your previous Chinese individual visa will become invalid. Therefore, you need to carefully consider your choice.

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.
