According to the new regulation introduced as of 1st October 2024 until further notice, Embassies are no longer able to submit names to the General Security of Lebanon. Consequently, the previous assistance of the Embassy of Hungary will be discontinued and it will be solely the visa applicant’s responsibility to comply with the entry rules and border crossing procedures of Lebanon.
Please note that no confirmation of appointment is provided to the applicant (except the automatic correspondence). Requests for such confirmation and enquiries about submitting applicant’s names to the Lebanese authorities will not be responded to.
