الأهم

الدخول والتأشيرات
British citizens normally receive a free one-month tourist visa on arrival at Beirut, extendable through General Security. The Lebanese embassy also lists many EU, CIS, US and Chinese citizens as eligible for visas on arrival; check your exact conditions. GCC citizens have a separate entry arrangement. Evidence of travel to Israel can cause refusal even with a visa.
صلاحية جواز السفر: FCDO says three months after entry; embassy visa applications require longer validity. Confirm your route.
