Tibet has not issued Tibet permit for Norwegians since 2010. It has been about 8 years since Norwegians been banned from Tibet travel steaming from the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to Chinese dissident by Norwegian Nobel Committee. Over the years, there has been guessing & expecting over the reopening of Tibet to Norwegians, but up until now (10 April 2018), Norwegians are still banned from Tibet. However, there is high hope that this may change in 2018 with the unfrozen of Sino-Norway relationship.
Many Norwegians had contacted us over the years wanting to travel Tibet. We want to emphasize again here that this is an issue between governments, and has nothing to do with common Tibetan & Han people. We don’t dislike Norwegians. Generally, we are friendly to all foreign travelers.
With the promising reopening of Tibet permit for Norwegians in 2018, we’d like to give Norwegian travelers a rough rundown of how does this work. After all, it has been 8 years since any Norwegian travelers set foot on Tibet.
