๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง Does a Lebanese need a visa for South Korea ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท?

Visa required

Yes. Lebanese passport holders need a visa for South Korea, applied for at an embassy or consulate of South Korea before travelling.

Rule updated from Wikipedia's โ€œVisa requirements for Lebanese citizensโ€ (checked 2026-10-04); the older passport-index dataset (January 2025) listed e-Visa. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of South Korea or its official government website before you travel.

What this means for your trip

You apply at an embassy, consulate or authorised visa centre of the destination, usually with an application form, passport photos, bank statements, travel itinerary and accommodation bookings.

Processing takes days to weeks, and some embassies require an interview; start the application well before your trip.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.
