Short-term visa for business visitors conducting consultations, training, or commercial meetings without local employment.
The Commercial Work Visa is a short-term entry authorization designed for business professionals traveling to Lebanon to engage in specific, time-bound commercial activities. It was established to facilitate international business relations by allowing experts, consultants, and trainers to enter the country legally without the need for a full, long-term work permit. This visa fills the gap for companies and organizations that need to send personnel to Lebanon for temporary projects, consultations, or professional development workshops, ensuring compliance with Lebanese labor and immigration regulations.
This visa is ideal for business visitors, corporate consultants, trainers, and technical experts conducting temporary assignments. Applicants must provide an invitation letter from a Lebanese company and proof of that company's legal certification or registration. What makes this visa distinctive is its focus on short-term, professional engagement rather than permanent employment. It is a flexible tool for the business community, though its duration and requirements are strictly monitored to ensure that all commercial activity remains within the scope of the visa's purpose.
