 To enter Tibet you need to get a special permit from Chinese Government. (A general China VISA only is not allowed to enter Tibet)

Once you have the Permit and arrived Tibet, a "PASS" will be issued for you. Then you can travel in Tibet (tourism areas).

The Tourism Permit:

The Tourism Permit fee: USD $400./per person.  Procedure time: 3 - 5 Days.

All foreigner tourists are not allowed to travel in Tibet by themselves. You have to join the group  tours which are operated by Travel agents. Any foreigner diplomate officer is not allowed to enter Tibet as a tourist.

The borders of Tibet were closed to foreigners in July, but has reopened for most foreigners since then. Although there are some restrictions.There should be no problem for foreigners to enter Tibet by Spring Festival. The last information I received was that foreigners were restricted to go to Mt. Everest, but that may have even changed by now.

I do know the Tibet permit is far far cheaper than 400USD....

Check out www.wildtibettour.com They are really great people, have great offers available and are very knowledgeable about all travel in and out of Tibet.

A:https://chinabyteaching.com/teaching-english-in-china/am-i-eligible-to-teach-in-china/ 6. Age requirements There is no single nationwide age rule applied consistently across all of China. In reality, most Z Visa approvals tend to cap somewhere around the mid-50s, but how strictly this is applied varies by province and employer. Age is often more of a hiring preference than a legal rule. Kindergartens, for example, may prefer younger teachers, while international schools often view age as experience and are more flexible. Ironically, even ‘young’ and ‘older’ are subjective – some Chinese employers might deem 40 to be ‘too old’ to teach kindergartners! If you are at all concerned about age, it is best to raise this early with recruiters to avoid wasting time with the wrong job applications. At the end of the day, you should strive to find a school that appreciates your experience. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china Requirements to teach in ChinaTeaching English jobs are competitive in China, and to teach legally in China, you'll have to meet a few qualifications:English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL).Bachelor’s degreeCriminal background checkTeaching certificate: TEFL, CELTA, or teaching license from your home country.Authenticated documents: Bachelor's degrees, criminal background checks, and teaching certificates will need to be legalized and authenticated. This helps international employers recognize their authenticity. Be under the Chinese retirement age of 55 (women) or 60 (men) years old The qualifications for teaching abroad in China are strict, and teaching in China on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation.   -- icnif77
