Why this verdict

Saudi citizens are encoded from Lebanese General Security's GCC tourist exemption row. The source says GCC citizens arriving as tourists are exempted from entry visas and receive a free 6-month border stamp. 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.
