There are 3 kinds of permits, Tibet Entry Permit (TTB permit), Tibet

When you fly into Lhasa you will need to show this permit when checking
in at the airport. Also, in order to buy a flight to Lhasa in the first
place you will need to show this permit. TTB permits are also needed by
groups traveling by Land Cruiser, but this will be arranged by the
travel agency organizing the trip.
