1- Passport Note

(a) Holders of passports containing a valid or expired visa for Israel will be refused entry or transit.

(b) All visitors entering Libya must be in possession of a minimum of foreign currency 1000 $ on arrival. Failure to comply with this will result in instant deportation and a fine to the airline.

2- Passports

Passport valid for a minimum of six months required by all nationals of countries referred to in the chart above.

3- Visas

Required by all nationals referred to in the chart above, except the following:

(a) 1. US nationals (including family members who may be of a different nationality) do not require a visa if traveling together and holding a letter with proof of sponsorship from an established Libyan company. If family members are traveling individually, the sponsorship letter must include confirmation that prior arrangements were made with the Libyan Immigration Department to obtain entry to the country.

(b) Transit passengers continuing their journey by the same or first connecting aircraft within 24 hours provided holding valid onward or return documentation and not leaving the airport.

4- Visa Note

Visitors must register with the Immigration Office within one week of arrival. Those visiting with an organized tour will usually have this done for them; some hotels also provide this service.

5- Types of Visa

Tourist

Business

6- Arabic translation rules

Travellers to Libya must now attach an Arabic translation of their personal details to their passports or risk expulsion from the country, even if they have a valid visa.

7-Visa Validity

One months from date of entry for tourist visa and 3 month for business visa. Entry must be within 45 days of receipt of visa.

8- Applications to:

Any of Libya's diplomatic representatives in the relevant country or abroad (such as the Libyan People's Bureau in London). Nationals of Germany must obtain their visas in Bonn/Berlin. Nationals of Canada must obtain their visas in Brussels, Belgium.

9- Working Days Required

5 to 7 working days.

10- Warning

Most visits to Libya are trouble-free.

However, travelers are advised against all but essential travel to areas bordering Chad and Sudan, because of instability in the region. With the exception of the official land border crossings to Tunisia and Egypt, visitors and residents are not permitted to travel in the interior or to border areas without an officially sanctioned guide or specific permission from the Libyan authorities.

Prior permission (a desert pass) to travel to the desert regions is required from the Libyan authorities. We usually arrange this. Once a desert pass has been obtained travelers should avoid those desert areas where oil extraction is in operation.

Libya shares with the rest of the North Africa region a threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate and against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

Visitors are advised to avoid political gatherings, and to be alert to developments in Libya and the Middle East that might trigger public disturbances.

Dear #7 Ramesh,

Once the visa is issued, you have 45 gays to enter Libya from the date of issue. Ie if it is issued on the 4th you have 45 dats fromm the 4th to enter.

Also it will state at which airport you enter

You can get the visa issued for a maximum of 3 months. It is a single entry visa.

If you are a Libyans spouse, you can apply for residence once in Libya.

However you will need other docunentation for this.

Once you have residence you may travel in and out.

Just in case below is what you will need to VISIT your Spouse in Libya.
