Libya Transit Visa

Libya Transit Visa

Transit Visa is granted for transiting or crossing Libya from border to border along the coast. When available, this kind of visa does not require a "guide", unless specifically requested. Usually it takes around 5 working-days to process the visa, but to guarantee arrival on the specified date it is best if you send your documents 10 days before arrival.

Libya currently does not issue tourist visas. Transit Visa cannot be used for tourism purposes, in the same way one is not allowed to work in the country without a work visa; but transit travellers can stop at any point along the coast including archaeological sites, and can stay wherever there are suitable and safe places for overnight.

Visitors will be refused entry if holding travel documents containing a visa (valid or expired) for Israel or any evidence of entry in Israel. Entry and transit is refused to Israel Israeli citizens, even if not leaving the aircraft and proceeding by the same flight.

Entry is also refused to nationals of Iran.
