Entry rules for Eritrea passport holders
Eritrean citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Lebanon. Applications generally go through a Lebanon embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Lebanon immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
How this compares
The Eritrean passport ranks #187 worldwide, opening 40 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (11 visa-free, 27 with a visa on arrival and 2 with an eTA). Lebanon is not among them — it is one of the 109 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.
The arrangement is reciprocal: Lebanese citizens traveling to Eritrea face the same requirement (visa required).
Western Asia is closed to spontaneous travel for Eritrean passport holders: none of its 17 destinations can be entered without an application first.
