VoA — Visa on Arrival

The Visa on Arrival (VoA) is a streamlined entry facility provided by the Lebanese government at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport and other designated border crossings. This service is available to citizens of specific countries, allowing them to enter Lebanon for tourism or short-term visits without the need to apply for a visa at an embassy beforehand. The facility is highly convenient for travelers, though eligibility depends heavily on the visitor's nationality and their ability to meet specific entry conditions upon arrival.

To qualify for the Visa on Arrival, travelers must present a valid passport that is free of any Israeli stamps or seals. Additionally, they must provide proof of their travel arrangements, including a return ticket and confirmed accommodation details. Certain nationalities are subject to stricter requirements, such as carrying a minimum amount of cash and holding a reservation at a recognized hotel. This visa is typically granted for an initial period of one month and may be extendable under specific conditions through the General Directorate of General Security, making it a flexible option for short-term visitors.
