The announcement follows the official visit of His Excellency Joseph Aoun, President of Lebanon, to the UAE and his meeting with His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President. His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed and President Aoun agreed to reinstate travel for citizens after taking necessary procedures and mechanisms to ease movement between the two nations.

· MoFA urges UAE nationals to provide complete and accurate information, including their intended address in Lebanon, contact details for emergencies, and the purpose of travel. Any changes must be promptly updated. Failure to register or update one’s residential information may lead to legal consequences.
