Traveling from Netherlands to Tibet, you first need to fly to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Chengdu with your own passport and a Chinese visa (preferably a tourist visa, “L” Visa) and then fly or take a train to Lhasa with your Tibet Travel Permit. Another option for Netherlanders is to fly to Kathmandu first and then enter Tibet from Nepal. In this case, you will need to apply for a China Group Visa at the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu, Nepal, as well as a Tibet travel permit from your Tibet travel agency.
