Historical Lebanon entry-fee notice — May 2025; reviewed 6 November 2026. The Lebanese-pound amount and US-dollar equivalent below relate to a 2025 announcement, not a verified present-day fee. Confirm your own exemption status, current amount and border payment procedure with Lebanese General Security or your transfer organiser. For other planning see our Syria entry routes and travel guide.
A May 2025 announcement described a Lebanese land-entry revenue-stamp fee for certain non-Lebanese travellers, quoted then at 1,000,000 Lebanese pounds (about USD 11 at the time). This is a historical amount, not a current quotation.
This decision comes from the Lebanese General Security based on Law No. 90/1991, which allows for collecting a border entry fee from non-Lebanese nationals arriving by land. The fee will be collected through a revenue stamp placed on your passport or entry slip at the border.
Important notes for travelers:
- The entry conditions remain the same, only this new fee is added.
- Lebanese border officers will guide travelers on where to buy the stamp.
- The stamp must be attached to your entry documents and validated before proceeding.
For a future land crossing into Lebanon, check whether the fee applies to your passport and ask for its current amount, currency and payment method. Do not rely on the 2025 USD conversion.
