Answer
Hello Jess,

Where did you read that it's not required to get a permit to enter Tibet? I don't remember ever making such a statement. In fact, you need a Chinese visa to enter Tibet if you're NOT already a Chinese citizen. In that case I don't know what permit is requied.

So once again to be very clear, a Chinese visa is required to enter Tibet.

Hope this helps.
