Dubai Visa for Lebanese Green Card Holders 2026

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.
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.
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.

Which document should determine the name on my application?

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.

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.
