Travel Advisory for Lebanon
1 March 2026

In view of the volatile situation in the region, Singaporeans are advised to defer all travel to Lebanon. Singaporeans currently in Lebanon should leave the country immediately via commercial options while they remain available. Singaporeans who choose to remain in Lebanon should remain vigilant, monitor local developments closely and heed the advice of the Lebanese government. They should also avoid protests and large gatherings, as well as avoid travel to southern Beirut and southern Lebanon, including the Lebanon-Israel border areas.
Should you require mental health support due to the current situation, you may contact the Singapore’s national mental health helpline and textline service, national mindline 1771 via:
Phone call: 1771 (For calls from Singapore); +65 6669 1771 (For calls from outside Singapore). Please note that airtime and roaming charges may apply.
WhatsApp chat: +65 6669 1771 (Only accessible by Singapore-registered mobile numbers).
Entry and Exit
Singaporeans may obtain a visa-on-arrival.
As immigration requirements can change at short notice, travellers are advised to check with their travel agent or the Consulate of Lebanon in Singapore for the latest information.
You may be refused entry, held for questioning, or deported if your passport contains an Israeli entry or exit stamp, Egyptian or Jordanian land crossing stamps that show you have travelled to Israel, or tickets and itineraries that include Israel.
All travellers’ names are checked against a database upon arrival and during departure. Border alerts or “Stop Orders” can be issued for those who are wanted for, or convicted of, offences in Lebanon. If your name matches an entry on the Stop Order list, you will be detained unless you can prove that the record does not relate to you. As there have been cases of mistaken identity, you may wish to bring along other forms of identification, such as birth certificate, for verification purposes.
Safety and Security
Terrorist attacks have occurred in the past. There is also a threat of kidnapping in Lebanon. Be alert and follow the advice of the local authorities.
Civil unrest can occur with little warning and escalate quickly. Monitor the local news and avoid areas of demonstrations.
Local Laws
Drug offences carry heavy penalties, including long prison sentences. Pack your own luggage and be cautious of accepting ‘gifts’ from strangers or new acquaintances.
Photography should be limited to tourist areas. It is an offence to photograph military, government, and civil installations.
Religious law has the same standing as civil law. Under Lebanese family law, individuals can prevent their family members, including foreigners, from leaving the country with a “Stop Order”. Consult a lawyer before departure if necessary.
General Travel Advice
Please refer to MFA’s general travel advice for Singaporeans before you travel overseas.
