[quote=RITA ,24192]Mr. G is an expert in tourist business and top manager of a large and reliable travel agency in Lhasa. The below is the short conversation between us about the Tibet Travel Permit, hope it is helpful. I think the information revealed in his words was reliable. (I changed the Chinese into English in haste and I kept the Chinese version for some of curious Chinese friends:)))Rita: ... ...进藏的外国人必须经过旅行社办理入藏函才能进西藏,那么我们听说的好多背包客独自出入西藏是怎么回事呢??Rita: ... ...As we all know, foreigners are not allowed to enter Tibet without Tibet Travel Permits which are only issued to registered travel agencies for their clients, but we also see or hear sometimes there are many backpackers/ independent travellers go in and out of Tibet without any problems, how is that?Mr. G大部分是从非正常渠道买的批件,还有就是凭运气,没有被检查到,特别是陆路进藏的,个别机场也只是抽查入藏批件。但是进入入藏批件只是准许进入西藏的一个许可证,到西藏后前往其他地区上旅游还要办理其他手续Some people "purchase" [NOT APPLY-rita] Tibet Travel Permit from unwarrantable methods, others entered Tibet successfully without the Permit only by luck, especially for those who travelled overland. Some airports only selectively exam the Permits, this also gives out chances to solo travellers. ... But as it indicates, the Tibet Travel Permit is only a permit, traveling to some other areas [except Lhasa] needs to transact other required procedures...(It is the first warning I got for a post of over 3000 characters::) to be continued[/quote]
