Singapore to Lebanon visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders can get a FREE visa on arrival in Lebanon for tourism, valid for an initial stay of up to 1 month (extendable to a total of 3 months). No pre-application is needed, but you must have no Israeli stamps/visas in your passport, plus a return/onward ticket and a Lebanese address and phone number. As of 2026, Singapore is among roughly 80 countries whose ordinary-passport holders receive a free single-entry visa on arrival when entering Lebanon at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport or any other port of entry. The initial permitted stay is up to one month, which can be extended for an additional two months (three months total) by applying to the General Directorate of General Security inside Lebanon. The visa on arrival is granted free of charge, but it is conditional: the passport must contain no Israeli visas, stamps or seals (any evidence of travel to Israel results in refused entry), the traveler must hold a non-refundable return or round-trip ticket, and must provide a telephone number and address in Lebanon (typically the hotel). The passport should be valid for at least six months and have at least two blank pages. This is a discretionary entry permit issued at the border rather than a guaranteed visa-free right, so it is classified as visa-on-arrival. Travelers should also note Lebanon's volatile security situation and check their own government's travel advisory before booking. Sources consulted are consistent: Wikipedia's Lebanon visa policy page, the Lebanese General Security guidance, and travel-industry references all agree Singapore qualifies for free VOA.
