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!

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.

Hello Ms. Sara,We will likely be there no more than 10 days.. where do we apply for the Tibet Entry Permit?How much time should I allow for applying for the visa and TEP?Thanks you,Shawn
