MP Choezin asked whether Tibetans in exile were following the guidelines issued by the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) in September 2024, which require all Tibetans — including current and former CTA officials — to notify the Department of Security before travelling to Tibet. However, she reiterated the need for Tibetans to inform the Security Department before travelling, especially from India, as failure to do so could create complications with host countries. The September 9, 2024, guidelines were issued in response to the growing number of Tibetans abroad travelling back to Tibet, amid rising security concerns. The CTA explained that Beijing continues to view Tibetans in exile as “separatists” and has intensified efforts to infiltrate and divide the community. The CTA also urged travellers to prepare emergency embassy contacts, report any manipulative tactics to the Department of Security, and remain alert to the long-term consequences of falling under Chinese influence.
