Furthermore, the travel agency which helped to get you the permit will also be in trouble. 5.When you apply for China visa, please do not mention Tibet. After you get China visa you can easily get Tibet permit. Otherwise you have to wait for Tibet permit and then you can get China visa. Of course you will face the risk of that you might be refused to come to Tibet even if you get China visa but your destination is Tibet. -Our company can help you get all the permit you needed travel in Tibet. -More details please contact with us : Tel：0086-10-51938552/ 51938553 0086-1051938570 51938571 Fax：0086-10-51938553 E-mail:Tibettour01@yahoo.cn Tibettour01@hotmail.com Web: http://www.tibet-tours.cn/ Address：5th floor, MachineryBuilding, NO.248 Guanganmen Wai Street, Xuanwu district, Beijing 1、 How can foreigners go to Tibet?
