Common questions

Can a Chinese passport holder with a valid U.S. visa enter Lebanon visa-free or get visa on arrival?

They can use visa on arrival based on the Chinese passport itself; no sourced Lebanese rule found here says a U.S. visa changes the outcome. The official list already includes China for a 1-month visa on arrival extendable to 3 months.

Does a Hong Kong SAR passport holder need an advance visa for a short tourist/business visit to Lebanon?

Usually no advance visa is needed; Hong Kong (SAR) China is on the Lebanese General Security official list for a 1-month visa on arrival extendable to 3 months.

Can a Taiwan passport holder get visa on arrival in Lebanon for a short tourist/business visit?

Based on the sourced material, not on a bare Taiwan passport; obtain a visa in advance. Taiwan is not in the Lebanese General Security official visa-on-arrival list, and Wikipedia's Taiwanese-citizen table lists Lebanon as visa required.

For a short visit to Lebanon, is a U.S. passport visa-free or visa on arrival?

It is visa on arrival, not visa-free. The Lebanese General Security official list includes U.S.A. for a 1-month visa on arrival extendable to 3 months.
