Türkiye to Lebanon visa requirements

Turkish ordinary passport holders get a FREE visa on arrival in Lebanon. It is issued at Beirut International Airport and other ports of entry at no cost, valid for multiple entries for up to 3 months. No advance application is needed, but your passport must contain no Israeli stamps, visas, or seals. As of 2026, Turkey ordinary passport holders do not need to apply for a visa before traveling to Lebanon for tourism. Lebanon grants Turkish nationals a free visa on arrival, issued at the point of entry such as Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport or land/sea border posts. Lebanon's Directorate General of General Security places Turkey in a favorable category: a multiple-entry, cost-free visa valid for 3 months is delivered at the airport and border posts. At immigration you must present a passport with no Israeli stamps, visas, or seals (or any evidence of prior travel to Israel), a return or onward ticket, a contact telephone number, and a Lebanese address (hotel booking is acceptable). Your passport should be valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended stay and have at least 2 blank pages. Lebanon is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Note that travel advisories for Lebanon can change due to the regional security situation, so check your home foreign ministry advice before departure.
