Question 1

What size is required for a Lebanon visa photo?

Accepted Answer

Visa photos for Lebanese applications must be 35×45mm (width × height), following the ICAO international standard. The head height from chin to crown must occupy approximately 70–80% of the frame height. This applies both for Lebanese passport holders applying for Schengen or other international visas, and for foreign nationals applying for a Lebanese visa.

Question 2

Do Lebanese passport holders need a Schengen visa?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lebanese passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel to Schengen Area member states. The application is submitted at the relevant European embassy or consulate, or through an authorised VFS Global centre in Lebanon. A compliant 35×45mm ICAO photo is required with the application.

Question 3

Does Lebanon offer an eVisa for foreign visitors?

Accepted Answer

Lebanon offers a tourist e-visa for eligible nationalities through the official portal. Many nationalities may also receive a visa on arrival at Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport. Requirements and eligible nationalities change periodically. Always verify the current visa entry requirements with the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs or your nearest Lebanese embassy before travel.

Question 4

What background is required for a Lebanon visa photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There should be no patterns, shadows, objects, or other people visible. ID Wizard automatically applies a clean white background to your photo, meeting Schengen and Lebanese embassy requirements.

Question 5

Are glasses allowed in a Lebanon visa photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Lebanon visa photos. ICAO biometric guidelines, which govern international visa photo standards, prohibit glasses because reflections can obscure the facial features required for biometric processing. Remove all glasses before taking your photo.

Question 6

Is the hijab allowed in a Lebanon visa photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Women wearing the hijab may include it in their visa photo, provided it is worn for sincere religious reasons and the full face is clearly visible — from chin to crown, with no part of the face obscured. Most Schengen embassies and Lebanese visa authorities accept religious headwear under these conditions.
