Can I get the Chinese visa from Milan? How much time it takes and how much it will cost?

If you want to get a tourist L from Milan, please don't mention that you will visit Kailash, Tibet on the application form. Once you mention that you will visit Tibet, Tibet Entry Permit issued by Tibetan Tourist Bureau is required, you can't get it in person, you have to contact a local travel agency to get it for you, it is very complex.

You can write that you will visit Shanghai, Beijing, Xian, Guilin, etc on the application form, then it is easy for you to get a tourist L from Milan. Once you arrive, you can ask the travel agency to give you the Tibet Entry Permit, you can take it to visit Kailash, Tibet.
