Group Tour Visa

The Group Tour Visa is a specialized entry permit designed for organized tourist or student groups visiting Lebanon. This visa facilitates the entry of larger parties by allowing a registered Lebanese tour operator to act as a sponsor. By coordinating the visa process, the tour operator ensures that the group meets all regulatory requirements, including the provision of accommodation details and travel itineraries. This visa is particularly beneficial for travel agencies and educational institutions organizing structured trips to explore Lebanon's historical and cultural landmarks.

To be eligible, the group must consist of at least eight individuals, and the tour operator must submit the necessary documentation to the authorities at least 48 hours before the group's arrival. Like other visa types, all group members must possess passports free of Israeli stamps. This collective approach simplifies the administrative burden for the travelers while ensuring that the group's stay is well-documented and compliant with Lebanese immigration laws. The visa allows for a significant duration of stay, often up to six months, providing ample time for the group to complete their planned itinerary.
