​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ALL non-Lebanese students coming to study at AUB need to have a valid passport for a period of at least 12 months and are encouraged to secure an entry visa either through OIP or through the Lebanese embassy/consulate in their country of residence. \
\
Check with the nearest Lebanese embassy or consulate in your country about whether you require an entry visa to Lebanon as some nationalities are entitled, by Lebanese Immigration Laws, to a free single entry visa upon arrival to Beirut Airport.\
