Lebanese passport holders need to arrange a UAE visa before they fly, and the quickest way to begin is our online Dubai visa application. This page explains who can apply, which documents to prepare, what the visa costs in AED and USD, how long it takes, and how to follow your file after you submit it. It is written for travellers in Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon, Tyre, Zahle and across Lebanon, and for Lebanese passport holders who live in other countries.
Dubai E Visa Online is a licensed private travel agency. We are not a government body, and we are not affiliated with GDRFA Dubai, ICP or any UAE embassy. UAE tourist visas are issued by UAE immigration through a licensed sponsor. We act as that sponsor and manage your application from document check to result. Our price includes the government fee and our service fee. Approval rests solely with UAE immigration, so we cannot promise any outcome.

Dubai Visa for Lebanese Citizens: Who Can Apply
Your eligibility starts with your passport. The application form asks two questions: which country you are a citizen of, and which country you live in. For Lebanese citizens, the first answer is Lebanon. The second answer is the country where you live now, which may or may not be Lebanon. Visa options, requirements and prices can depend on your passport nationality, your residence and your travel circumstances, so answer both questions accurately.
No page can tell you in advance that an application will be accepted. UAE immigration reviews each file on its own. What we can do is help you submit a complete and accurate application, which removes the most common avoidable problems.
Dubai Visa for Lebanese Passport Holders
A Lebanese passport holder is anyone travelling on a passport issued by Lebanon. Your visa is linked to the passport you use in the application. Apply with the passport you will carry on the flight. If you hold two passports, choose one and use it for the whole process. Do not switch passports after you pay.
Many people search for a Dubai visa for Lebanese residents. They usually mean either families living in Lebanon or Lebanese citizens living abroad. Both groups start the same way: select Lebanon as your citizenship, then select your real country of residence. Living in the Gulf, Europe, North America or Africa may change the options you see. Our guide on the Dubai visa for US green card holders shows how a residence permit in another country can affect an application.
Dubai Visa for Lebanon Residents
If you live in Lebanon, you can start from home. Documents are uploaded online, so applicants in Tripoli, Sidon, Tyre or Zahle follow the same steps as applicants in Beirut. Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport is the airport in the capital, but your visa application does not depend on which city you live in.
This section also matters if you are not Lebanese. A Dubai visa for expats in Lebanon depends on the passport you hold, not only on where you live. The same is true of a Dubai visa for foreign residents in Lebanon. This page is written mainly for Lebanese passport holders. If you hold another passport, select your own nationality in the form so the correct options and prices appear.
Dubai Tourist Visa for Lebanese Citizens: Options
The application page for Lebanon lists several short-stay options. Most travellers choose between a 30-day and a 60-day visa, and between single entry and multiple entry. Transit visas are listed for layovers. Extension products are listed for people who are already in the UAE. The list can change, so the application page always shows the current options and prices.
The right choice depends on trip length and how often you plan to enter the UAE. A single-entry visa is enough for one trip. A multiple-entry visa suits people who plan to leave and come back during the validity period, such as a business traveller who also visits nearby countries.
Dubai Visit Visa from Lebanon
A visit visa suits tourism, family visits and short stays. If you are staying with a relative or friend in the UAE, the document list on the application page says you can share that person's Emirates ID instead of hotel details. A 14-day business visa is also listed for work trips.
If you only have a long layover, the page lists a 48-hour transit visa and a 96-hour transit visa. The 48-hour visa shows 1-2 days of processing, and the 96-hour visa shows 4-5 days. Both are listed as not extendable, so choose the one that fits your connection.
30 Day Dubai Visa for Lebanese Citizens
The 30-day visa allows a stay of 30 days. The page lists its visa validity as 60 days, which is the window in which you must use it to enter the UAE. Processing is listed as 3-4 days. Both the single-entry and multiple-entry versions are listed as extendable by up to 30 days, and any extension is subject to approval.
60 Day Dubai Visa for Lebanese Citizens
The 60-day visa allows a stay of 60 days, with visa validity also listed as 60 days. Processing is listed as 3-4 days. The single-entry version is listed as extendable by up to two weeks. The multiple-entry version is listed as not extendable.
A tourist visa is not meant for moving to Dubai for work, study or family settlement. If that is your goal, read our guide to the Dubai 2-year visa and other long-term options before you choose a short-stay product.
Dubai Visa Requirements for Lebanese Citizens
The requirements below follow what the application page asks for. You may be asked for extra documents on an individual file. Keep every upload clear, uncropped and in colour, because unclear files are one of the most common reasons for delays.
Dubai Visa Documents for Lebanese Citizens
Prepare these items before you open the form. Having them ready usually means you can finish in one sitting.
- Passport bio page: a clear copy of the page with your photo and details. The passport must have at least 6 months of validity and at least 4 blank pages.
- Photograph: one clear colour photo of each traveller on a plain white background. Black and white photos are not accepted.
- Flight details: return or onward flight information. The page also recommends booking flights only after approval, so ask the team how to proceed if you have not booked yet.
- Accommodation: hotel booking details, or the Emirates ID of a relative or friend if you will stay with them.
| Item | What to upload | Tip for Lebanese applicants |
|---|
| Passport | Bio page, 6+ months validity, 4 blank pages | Scan it flat and in full colour. Do not cover any edge with a finger. |
| Photo | Colour photo, white background | Avoid filters, shadows and glasses glare. |
| Name details | Names typed exactly as in the passport | Arabic names can be written in Latin letters in several ways, such as Mohamad or Mohammad. Copy the passport spelling. |
| Flight and stay | Flight details and hotel or host's Emirates ID | Confirm timing with the team before paying for tickets. |
Requirements may change. The application page shows the current list.
Some applicants also ask whether a degree certificate is needed. Our guide on applying for a UAE visa without a degree certificate covers that question in detail.
Dubai Visa Requirements for Lebanon Residents
If you live in Lebanon, the standard document list above applies. The application page does not list a Lebanese ID card or civil record extract as a standard upload. You need what the form asks for, plus anything extra requested on your file.
A few practical checks help Lebanon-based applicants. First, check how many months your passport has left, because renewal time is outside our control. Second, save your passport scan, photo and flight details in one folder on your phone or computer before you start. Third, use a stable connection so the upload does not stop halfway. Fourth, use a bank card that allows international online payments.
How to Apply for Dubai Visa from Lebanon
The process is fully online and has only a few steps. The steps are the same whether you live in Beirut, in a mountain village or abroad. Follow them in order and keep your application ID once you receive it.
- Open the application page and select Lebanon under "I am a citizen of".
- Select your country of residence under "I am living in".
- Choose the visa type and duration, for example 30-day or 60-day, single or multiple entry.
- Click "Proceed to apply" and fill in the form exactly as your passport shows.
- Upload your passport page, photo and any other requested documents.
- Pay by card.
- Look for an email with your application ID. Check the spam folder if you do not see it.
- Track your file online. When it is approved, download the visa and keep a printed copy.
Dubai Visa Application from Lebanon
Timing matters more than most applicants expect. The listed processing time is not a promise, so build a buffer between your application and your flight. A safe order of tasks is: check passport validity, collect documents, submit the application, wait for approval, and only then book flights and hotels you cannot cancel.
Each traveller needs a separate application with their own passport and photo. For a family trip, submit one application per person, one after the other, using the same contact details so all emails reach you. If one family member has a passport with less than 6 months left, fix that first so the whole trip is not delayed.
Dubai Visa Online from Lebanon
Applying online means no paper forms and no queue. You can use a phone or a computer, and clear photos of your documents are fine if every detail is readable. The steps for a Dubai visa application online Lebanon applicants complete are the same in every city, so you can start in a few minutes.
The site accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express cards. Before you start, make sure your card is enabled for international online payments, since some banks block them by default. If you get stuck, the site offers a WhatsApp chat with an expert, so you can ask before you pay rather than after.
Dubai Visa Fees for Lebanese Citizens
Prices on the application page are shown per person. The USD amounts below are the "starting from" prices listed for Lebanon when this page was prepared. AED amounts are approximate and use the fixed rate of 3.6725 AED per USD. Each price includes the UAE government fee and our sponsorship service fee. We do not publish the government fee on its own, and nothing here should be read as an official government charge. Prices can vary by visa type, nationality and application requirements.
| Visa type | Stay | Listed processing | Starting price (USD) | Approx. price (AED) |
|---|
| 30-day single entry | 30 days | 3-4 days | USD 254 | AED 933 |
| 30-day multiple entry | 30 days | 3-4 days | USD 550 | AED 2,020 |
| 60-day single entry | 60 days | 3-4 days | USD 490 | AED 1,800 |
| 60-day multiple entry | 60 days | 3-4 days | USD 800 | AED 2,938 |
| 48-hour transit | 48 hours | 1-2 days | USD 121 | AED 444 |
| 96-hour transit | 96 hours | 4-5 days | USD 237 | AED 870 |
Prices are indicative and may change without notice. The final price is shown at checkout.
Dubai Visa Cost from Lebanon
Two things drive the total: the length of stay and the number of entries. A multiple-entry visa costs noticeably more than a single-entry visa of the same length, so choose single entry if you only plan one trip. The price is per person, so a family of four pays four times the listed amount.
Flights, hotels and travel extras are separate from the visa price. Before you pay, check the Dubai visa price for Lebanese citizens on the application page, because listed prices can change.
Dubai Visa Processing Time from Lebanon
The application page lists 3-4 days for the 30-day and 60-day visas, 1-2 days for the 48-hour transit visa and 4-5 days for the 96-hour transit visa. These are listed estimates, not guarantees. UAE immigration makes the final decision, and a file can take longer than listed.
Several things can slow a file down. Blurry scans, a name that does not match the passport, missing pages and a passport close to expiry are the usual causes. Fixing these before you submit is the easiest way to protect your timeline.
- Apply well before your travel date, not in the last few days.
- Avoid non-refundable bookings until the visa is approved.
- Use the status page if your file looks slow instead of submitting a second application.
- If your date is close, look at the express options described below.
Lebanese Passport Dubai Visa: Status and Express Options
After payment you receive an application ID by email. That ID is the key to following your file. Keep it safe, and do not share it publicly.
Lebanese Passport Holders Dubai Visa Status Check
You can follow your file on our Dubai visa status page using your application details. Check it once a day rather than many times a day, since results do not change by the hour. If the file shows as pending for longer than the listed processing time, contact support with your application ID.
When the visa is approved, download it and read every detail: full name, passport number, entry type and validity dates. Even one wrong letter can cause trouble at check-in. Our guide on how to check whether a Dubai visa is original or fake explains what a genuine visa looks like.
Lebanon to Dubai Visa Express Options
If your travel date is close, the Dubai express visa page explains the faster options, the timing and any extra charge. Availability can depend on the visa type and your nationality, so read the page before you pay. Express handling speeds up the process but does not change the decision. It does not guarantee approval.
Dubai Visa Application for Lebanese Citizens: Common Mistakes
Most refusals and delays that applicants can control come from small errors. These are the mistakes we see most often in country-based applications, and each one is easy to avoid.
- Wrong citizenship in the form. The selector may start on another country. Check that "I am a citizen of" shows Lebanon before you continue.
- Name spelling that differs from the passport. Copy the Latin spelling from the passport page, not from an old booking or another document.
- Using a different passport at the airport. The visa is tied to the passport in your application.
- Short passport validity. Less than 6 months left, or fewer than 4 blank pages, can stop the application.
- Poor scans and photos. Cropped corners, glare and coloured backgrounds are common problems.
- Booking flights too early. A refusal after you buy a ticket is a costly surprise.
- Applying at the last minute. Short timelines leave no space to fix an error.
- Using unlicensed sellers. Pay only through a licensed provider, and verify the visa once you receive it.
- Mixing up transit and tourist visas. A transit visa allows 48 or 96 hours, not a holiday.
Dubai Entry Requirements for Lebanese Citizens: Stay, Overstay and Extensions
Your visa has two dates that matter. One is the period in which you must enter the UAE. The other is the length of stay once you arrive. Mixing them up is a common mistake. Entry itself is decided by immigration officers at the border, so carry your visa, passport and trip details with you.
Overstaying a tourist or visit visa is charged at AED 50 per day from the first day of overstay. Do not assume you will receive a grace period. Other charges may also apply, and fines can change, so check the current position with UAE immigration or our team before you stay past your expiry date.
If you want to stay longer, the application page lists extension options, including an airport-to-airport change and an inside-country extension. Rules, fees and availability vary by visa, and approval is not guaranteed. Apply for an extension before your visa expires, not after.
Dubai Tourist Visa from Lebanon: Travel Planning from Beirut
Good planning means doing things in the right order. First check your passport. Then apply for the visa. Book flights and hotels after approval. Finally, print your visa and keep your documents together for the airport. We do not list airlines or routes here, because schedules change. Check your airline directly for current flights from Beirut and for any visa checks it requires at boarding.
Flying from Beirut. Allow time for the visa before choosing dates. Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport is the departure airport for travellers based in the capital, but your visa file does not change based on the airport you use.
Living in other Lebanese cities. You do not need to travel to Beirut to apply. People in Tripoli, Sidon, Tyre, Zahle and Jounieh apply online in the same way. You only travel to the airport on the day you fly.
Lebanese citizens living in the Gulf. Choose Lebanon as your citizenship and your actual country of residence. Our guide on the Dubai visa for Qatar residents is a useful example of how residence in another country can affect the application.
Family trips. Each traveller needs their own application, passport and photo. Start early so one delayed file does not hold up everyone.
Layover only. If you are connecting through Dubai and want to leave the airport, a 48-hour or 96-hour transit visa may be a better fit than a 30-day visa.
