Líbano: o que saber antes da viagem
O essencial
- Check area-specific travel warnings; the security situation can deteriorate quickly.
- Bring a cash contingency; card acceptance and electricity supply are unreliable.
- Israeli passport stamps can cause refusal of entry.
Entrada e vistos
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.
Validade do passaporte: FCDO says three months after entry; embassy visa applications require longer validity. Confirm your route.
