Annual Residence – Business Investor (إقامة سنوية - رجل أعمال)

The Annual Residence for Business Investors is a specific category tailored for Arab nationals who are actively engaged in commercial or investment activities within Lebanon. This permit allows investors to reside in the country to oversee their business interests. The application process requires rigorous verification of the investor's professional background and the legitimacy of their investment projects in Lebanon. The residency is typically granted for one year and is subject to renewal based on the continued status of the investment and the investor's compliance with Lebanese regulations.

This visa is intended for entrepreneurs and business professionals from the Arab region who are contributing to the Lebanese economy. Unlike standard work visas, this permit recognizes the investor's role as a project owner or manager. Applicants must provide official documentation—often verified by both their home country's authorities and relevant Lebanese government bodies—to confirm their professional standing and the scope of their local business operations. It is a key instrument for facilitating cross-border business and encouraging foreign direct investment from the Arab world.
