Apply for a Dubai Visa From Lebanon: All Visa Types Online

September 2025 media reports described a pause on new UAE tourist and work visas for Lebanese citizens, citing an internal circular that was not publicly released. No transit-specific restriction was confirmed, so the current position for Lebanese passport holders remains unclear. Before booking, confirm whether a transit visa can currently be issued for your route. Our team can check whether an application can be lodged before you pay.

You can generally transit through Dubai without a UAE visa if you remain in the international transfer area and your airline confirms the connection. A single ticket with baggage checked through to Beirut can make the transfer easier. Separate tickets, missed connections or cancellations may require you to clear UAE immigration, which requires the appropriate entry permission. Confirm your airline’s requirements and your transit options before booking, as the current visa position for Lebanese passport holders remains unclear.

If your UAE residence visa is valid, you enter as a resident and no separate transit visa applies. Residents of other Gulf countries are different: a Saudi or Qatari permit does not give a Lebanese passport automatic UAE entry, and some resident visa routes depend on profession. Share your permit details and our team will tell you which route applies to your trip.

Book a single ticket from Beirut to Australia and ensure every family member has the required Australian visa. If you plan to leave Dubai airport, confirm UAE entry requirements for everyone, including children. Since September 2025 reports described a pause on new UAE tourist and work visas for Lebanese citizens, check current transit visa eligibility before booking.
