\tPassport, valid for at least 3 month after your visit China and necessary visa or permits. The visa should be approved prior to entering China and a permit for Tibet must be obtained 15 days before entering Tibet. If you only plan to travel and stay in Hong Kong you are exempt from applying for a China visa.<\/p>\n
\tMost people only need to apply for a single-entry visa, which is usually valid for 3 months after the issuing date and will permit you to stay in China for a maximum of 30 days.<\/p>\n
\tYou need permits to go to Tibet. If you only go to Lhasa, a Tibet permit will be sufficient but, if you want to go further to the "unopened" areas, you also need an Alien's travel permit issued by the PSB of Tibet.<\/p>\n
\tIf you are to travel to Tibet, you are required to provide a doctor's certificate stating that you are fit to travel and your blood pressure and heart condition are normal in case that the very high altitude have the possible effects on you.<\/p>\n
