Dubai Visa for Lebanese Green Card Holders 2026

Lebanese passport holders with a U.S. Green Card need to arrange a UAE visa before travelling to Dubai. The Green Card confirms lawful permanent residence in the United States, but UAE entry is still based mainly on the passport used for travel.

This page is for Lebanese U.S. permanent residents who want a clear answer on documents, visa types, prices, processing time and the online application process from the USA.

Direct answer: Your U.S. permanent residence does not currently remove the UAE visa requirement attached to a Lebanese normal passport. Arrange the correct entry permission before departure and keep the original Green Card with your U.S. return documents.
Current entry position

Do Lebanese Green Card Holders Need a Visa for Dubai?

Lebanese citizens travelling on a normal Lebanese passport are currently listed as visa required for UAE entry. A U.S. Green Card does not automatically provide visa on arrival or visa-free entry.

The UAE residence-based eligibility update published on 25 June 2026 added Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Kenya and South Africa alongside India. Lebanon was not added to that route.

Simple way to check your case: first look at the passport you will use to enter Dubai. If it is a Lebanese normal passport and you are only a U.S. permanent residentโ€”not a U.S. citizenโ€”plan around the Lebanese passport visa rule.
What the Green Card changes

What Does a U.S. Green Card Do for a Lebanese Applicant?

A U.S. Green Card is useful because it shows that you legally reside in the United States. It can be provided with the visa application when residence evidence is requested and should also be carried for your return journey to the USA.

It does not replace the Lebanese passport and does not guarantee visa issuance. The UAE visa is issued using the passport details submitted with the application.

Dubai Visa Requirements for Lebanese U.S. Residents

Recent clear passport-style colour photograph
Passport cover or additional passport pages when requested
Return or onward travel information where requested

Lebanese document check

Check Arabic and English Name Details Before Submission

Lebanese travellers can have Arabic names represented in English in more than one spelling across older records. For the UAE visa application, use the English name exactly as it appears on the current Lebanese passport being used for travel.

01
Follow the Passport

Do not replace the passport spelling with a different English spelling used on an old ticket, bank record or other document.

02
Check All Name Fields

Review the given names and surname exactly as printed in the passport's English details.

03
Match the Issued Visa

After issuance, compare the eVisa name and passport number with the current passport before flying.

If your Green Card uses a slightly different English spelling: do not guess which version should go into the UAE visa form. Use the current passport details for the passport fields and provide the Green Card as the residence document.
Different passports, different rules

Lebanese Families Traveling From the United States

Family members on the same booking can have different UAE entry requirements. Check each person according to the passport they will actually use.

Lebanese Green Card holder: check and arrange the visa required for the Lebanese passport.
U.S. citizen spouse: follows UAE entry rules for a U.S. passport.
Children with U.S. passports: should be checked under U.S.-passport entry rules.
Children with Lebanese passports: need the applicable UAE permission for that passport.
Do not copy one family member's visa route to everyone. Passport nationality and document type should be checked individually before payment.
Common questions

Dubai Visa for Lebanese Green Card Holders: FAQs

Do Lebanese Green Card holders need a visa for Dubai?

Lebanese normal-passport holders are currently visa required for UAE entry. A U.S. Green Card does not automatically remove that passport-based requirement.

Can a Lebanese U.S. resident get a UAE visa on arrival because of a Green Card?

Lebanon is not included in the June 2026 residence-based nationality expansion. Do not use the Green Card alone as proof that you can obtain UAE entry on arrival.

Can I apply online while living in the United States?

Eligible Lebanese passport holders living in the USA can complete a supported pre-arranged tourist-visa application online.

Which document should determine the name on my application?

Use the English name exactly as shown on the current Lebanese passport being used for UAE travel. The Green Card should be submitted as residence evidence where required.

What if the spelling on my Green Card and Lebanese passport is slightly different?

Use the current passport information in the passport fields and provide clear copies of both documents. If the difference is material, ask for document review before submission.

How much does the visa service cost?

DubaiVisa.com assisted-service prices vary by visa type. The listed tourist options currently range from US$122 for the 14-day single-entry option to US$359 for the 60-day multiple-entry option.

How long does processing take?

Standard handling is normally targeted within 24โ€“72 working hours after a complete application is accepted. Faster options may be available, but immigration review can extend any estimate.

Does a U.S. Green Card guarantee UAE visa approval?

No. It confirms U.S. permanent-resident status but does not guarantee UAE visa issuance or admission.

Visa-status note: UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs currently lists the Republic of Lebanon as visa required for non-citizen normal passport travel to the UAE. The UAE ICP update published on 25 June 2026 expanded the residence-based route to six additional nationalitiesโ€”Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Kenya and South Africaโ€”alongside India. Lebanon is not included in that nationality group.
