Why this verdict
Indonesian citizens are encoded conservatively from Lebanese General Security's previous-authorization and countries-not-mentioned wording. The ordinary short-tourism route requires a Lebanese visa or previous authorization before travel unless General Security confirms a specific exception. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, employment, family relocation, journalism, artists/models/masseuses, diplomatic/service passports, Palestinian or alien travel documents, emergency passports, land/airline handling, security screening and Lebanese General Security discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with Lebanese General Security or a Lebanese mission before booking.
Conditional rules
- Transit visa or transit route through Lebanon Conditional
The Lebanese embassy-visa page lists transit-visa documents as a visa or residence permit for the destination country plus an airline ticket. Airside handling depends on the airport, carrier and whether the traveller crosses border control.
- Work, study, residence, employment, family relocation, artists/models/masseuses or other non-tourist purpose Visa required
Lebanese General Security says people coming for reasons other than tourism need previous authorization delivered by a Lebanese mission abroad or by General Security; work routes also require the relevant authorization.
- Emergency, temporary, Palestinian, alien or other special travel document Conditional
The General Security source has separate handling for emergency passports and special travel documents. This ordinary-passport row should not be used for those documents.
- Worker-exporter-country or domestic-worker-related route Visa required
Lebanese General Security lists this nationality in worker-exporter / previous-authorization cohorts. Do not rely on a simple tourism answer for work, domestic work or related travel.
- Female citizen from Indonesia, Ghana or Egypt travelling for tourism Visa required
Lebanese General Security's Tenth Article says female citizens from Indonesia, Ghana, Sierra Leone or Egypt require previous authorization from General Security for tourism.
- Country not mentioned in the tourist visa-on-arrival or exemption lists Visa required
The Eleventh Article says citizens of countries not previously mentioned require a visa from a Lebanese embassy or previous authorization from General Security.
