At the same time, the Chinese government hopes that those who remain abroad abide by the laws of the countries where they reside, and live in harmony with the local people.

Overseas Tibetans who want to come back either to visit or settle may apply and go through the necessary formalities at the Chinese embassy or consulate in the country where they currently live. Those who plan to go abroad again after visiting will be guaranteed their freedom to come and go.
