✈️ Iraqi passport holders get a free Lebanese visa on arrival at Beirut airport, valid for one month. You do need to show you can support yourself: border officers ask to see $2,000 in cash. You show the money, you do not pay it.
💡 Extending is free if you apply before your visa expires. Go to any General Security office and you get two more months. Leave it until after it expires and you face a daily fine plus an exit visa requirement.
Is it really free? Yes, visa on arrival for Iraqis is free for one month.
Do I pay the $2,000? No, you only show it as proof of funds.
Can I extend? Yes, two more months free from General Security before your visa expires.
Do I need an embassy visa? Only if you want longer than a month from the start, or multiple entry.
What if I overstay? A daily fine, plus an exit visa before you can leave.
Want us to handle it? The Rahal team completes your application and paperwork end to end. You just pack.
