Visa requirements for Lebanese citizens
From I Visa Services
The front cover of the Lebanese biometric passport
Visa requirements for citizens of the Republic of Lebanon are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other sovereign countries and territories placed on citizens of the Republic of Lebanon.
As of 10 July 2018, citizens of the Republic of Lebanon had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 41 sovereign countries and territories, ranking the Lebanese passport 96th in the world for travel freedom according to the Henley Passport Index and tied with Bangladesh, Libya and South Sudan.
Citizens of the Republic of Lebanon do not need a passport when travelling to Jordan and Syria. For these countries, they may use just their domestic national identification cards called in Arabic: بطاقة الهوية (bițāqat al-hawiya) and in French: carte nationale d'identité.
Besides visa requirements, most countries specify other requirements which preclude the entry of citizens of the Republic of Lebanon and other citizens into their territory such as the prospective entrant not having a criminal history or health issues and presenting evidence of sufficient funds or a ticket for exit and many other factors.
