Application for Lebanon visa!

Yes, absolutely. As an expat living in the UAE, you can apply for a Lebanon visa from Dubai without needing to return to your home country. Green Apple Travel & Tourism processes Lebanon visa applications for all residents of the UAE, whether you hold an employment visa, investor visa, or any other residency status. We handle the entire submission process from our office in Bur Dubai, and you don't need to visit the Lebanese embassy or any visa centre in person.

For a Lebanon tourist visa, you'll typically need a valid passport (with at least 6 months validity), a completed visa application form, passport-sized photographs, proof of accommodation in Lebanon (hotel booking or invitation letter), proof of financial means (bank statement or salary certificate), and your UAE residence visa copy. If you're employed in the UAE, your company's letter confirming your employment and salary is essential. Green Apple will guide you on the exact checklist based on your specific situation when you contact us via WhatsApp.

Standard processing time for a Lebanon visa from Dubai is typically 5–7 working days from the date your documents are submitted to the Lebanese embassy or consulate. However, expedited processing may be available for an additional fee if you need your visa urgently. Green Apple will confirm the exact timeline once we review your documents and submit them on your behalf. We'll keep you updated at every stage and notify you immediately once your visa is ready for collection.

Our service fee for a Lebanon tourist or business visa starts at AED 800, which includes our professional visa consultation, document verification, and submission to the embassy. This does not include the official embassy visa fee (typically AED 200–300 depending on visa type), which you'll pay separately. What makes us different is that we offer completely FREE pickup and delivery of your documents across Dubai, so there are no hidden transportation costs. For the most accurate final quote including embassy fees for your specific visa type, please contact us on WhatsApp and we'll provide a detailed breakdown.

Yes, that's exactly how we work. You don't need to visit the Lebanese embassy, VFS Global, or any visa centre in person. Simply arrange a time for us to pick up your documents from your home or office in Dubai for free, we verify and prepare everything, and then we submit your complete application directly to the embassy on your behalf. You'll only need to come to our Bur Dubai office or arrange delivery once your visa is approved and ready to be collected—or we can even deliver it back to you.

Lebanon does offer visa on arrival at Beirut airport for citizens of many countries, including UAE nationals and most expat nationalities, but it's not guaranteed and can lead to delays or refusal at the airport. Applying for your visa in advance from Dubai through Green Apple is far safer, faster, and more reliable because you'll have your visa stamp in your passport before you travel. This eliminates any risk of being turned away at immigration and gives you peace of mind—especially if you're traveling for business and can't afford delays.

Lebanon typically issues single-entry tourist visas as standard, which allows you one entry into the country. Multiple-entry visas are generally issued only for business visa holders or special cases, and you would need strong justification such as a business sponsorship letter or frequent business travel requirement. If you need multiple entries, we can explore this option when you discuss your travel plans with us—Green Apple has experience negotiating special requests with the embassy for eligible applicants.

If your application is rejected by the Lebanese embassy, Green Apple will provide you with detailed feedback on the reason for refusal (usually related to documentation, financial proof, or travel history). In most cases, rejections can be overcome by strengthening your application with additional supporting documents—for example, a stronger bank statement, a sponsorship letter, or clarification documents. We will work with you to resubmit your application at no additional consultation fee, as your approval is our priority.

While there's no legal requirement for your employer's written permission to apply for a Lebanon visa, most employers in the UAE expect to be informed of your travel plans. However, you will need an employment letter from your company as part of your visa application documents—this confirms your position, salary, and work status in the UAE, which strengthens your application. If you're concerned about your employer's stance, we recommend discussing this with HR before initiating the visa process, but the visa application itself is your personal right as a UAE resident.

You don't need to submit documents in person at all—that's the whole benefit of using Green Apple. A family member, colleague, or anyone you trust can drop off your documents at our Bur Dubai office, or better yet, we offer completely free pickup service across Dubai at a time convenient for you. You only need to be present to sign the visa application form itself, which can be done at our office or we can arrange a convenient time to visit you. This flexibility makes the process hassle-free for working professionals and busy expats in Dubai.
