In April this year my travel companion (US pp holder) paid RMB350 to an agent in Guangzhou, but we met one German guy in Lhasa said he paid RMB800 in Shanghai!

Just wondering, to the people who has traveled to Tibet, how much does the permit cost? Thanks!

I heard the permit fee varies depending on the city, from which you apply for it. Strange! Can anyone tell me: are you applying the permit as an individual? I went to Tibet this past August. The agency said we must book a tour with them for them to apply a permit for us, and they didn't quote us the cost for permit. That was fine since it was our first time to Tibet. But next time, I want to go by myself. I want to find cheaper hotels, negotiate for a better price for cars after I arrive in Lhasa. I wonder how could I get a Tibet Entrance Permit without booking a tour? Any tips is greatly appreciated.
