Lebanon Work Visa

#workvisa

About

For foreigners looking for jobs in the Middle East, Lebanon is a popular option. For foreign nationals who want to work in Lebanon, the nation provides a range of work visa alternatives. 

The employer of a person must acquire a work visa, commonly referred to as a work permit. The applicant can submit a residency application in Lebanon after receiving a work permit.

Eligibility

The following are the general requirements for obtaining a work visa in Lebanon:

  • The candidate must be at least eighteen.
  • A Lebanese employer must have made the applicant a job offer.
  • A work permit must be requested from the Ministry of Labour on behalf of the employee by the employer.

Documents

Some of the paperwork that can be needed for a work visa in Lebanon is listed below:

  • The passport must still be valid for at least six months.
  • A thoroughly filled-out visa application form.
  • An employment offer from a Lebanese company.
  • Evidence of academic achievement or professional experience.
  • Police clearance records or further pertinent background checks.
  • Medico-legal documentation attesting to the applicant's sound health.
  • Proof of financial capacity to support oneself while staying in Lebanon.

Process

Your employees can apply for a residency visa to stay in Lebanon for a year once they have their work licences. However, the spouse of your employee is not permitted to work in the nation due to their work and resident visa.

Visa Processing Time
Depending on the kind of visa, the number of applications received, and the unique circumstances of the applicant, the processing time for a work visa in Lebanon may change. The documents are usually processed within 15 days. 

How to Apply
Hiring a visa consultant is always a viable option, but you must be mindful of visa scams. However, here is a brief description of the procedure for requesting a work visa in Lebanon by yourself:

  • Find employment with a Lebanese company.
  • Send your visa application and necessary paperwork to the closest embassy or consulate of Lebanon in your place of residence.
  • Watch for the processing of the visa application and get the visa.

Duration & Fees

Duration
Work visas can be granted for up to a year and have the option of being renewed. However, the Lebanese government can have particular rules in place for certain businesses or professions that could affect how long the work visa is valid.

Fees
Depending on the kind of visa and the unique circumstances of the applicant, the cost of a work visa in Lebanon may change. The cost of a visa can often range from 60 to 200 USD.
