Question

Hello,I would like to travel with my 14 y/o daughter to Lhasa to volunteer in an orphanage which is run by a tibetan Dr. here in the U.S.  She is traveling back to Lhasa in August and has invited us to come at that time to volunteer.  I noticed in the posts that individual citizens are not allowed to travel into to Tibet and that we should travel with a group through a travel agency.  Can we travel with a group into the country and then stay in Lhasa to work in the orphanage?  Approximately how long does it take to apply for and receive a visa for Tibet?Thanks!

Ms.Sarah · Answer

How long are you going to volunteer in Lhasa? China tourist visa is short with duration of 30 days generally. If yes, you can apply for a tourist visa. But be aware that you need to apply for a Tibet Entry Permit as well.
