Egypt to Lebanon visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders can obtain a free conditional visa on arrival at Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport for tourism, valid for one month and extendable up to three months, provided they meet documentary conditions (return ticket, hotel/address, and proof of about USD 2,000 in funds). Lebanon grants Egyptian ordinary passport holders a conditional visa on arrival, classified under Article Eight of Lebanese General Security regulations. The visa is issued free of charge at Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (and approved land/sea ports) and is valid for one month, extendable for two additional months (three months total) through the General Directorate of General Security. To be admitted, Egyptian travelers must present a non-refundable round-trip or onward ticket, a confirmed reservation at a 3-to-5 star hotel or a private residential address with a phone number, and proof of sufficient funds equivalent to about USD 2,000 in cash (or a certified bank check). A passport valid for at least six months is required. Critically, the passport must contain NO Israeli stamps, visas, or seals, and any prior travel to Israel can result in refusal of entry, detention, or arrest. Lebanon is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers who do not wish to risk refusal at the border, or who hold non-ordinary passports, may instead apply in advance at the Embassy of Lebanon in Cairo or the Consulate General in Alexandria. Sources are consistent across the official General Security list, the Lebanese Embassy in Egypt, and reference databases; the conditional nature of the on-arrival visa means border officers retain discretion, so meeting every condition is essential.
