Documents
Always required
Passport bio-page scan showing at least 6 months validity beyond the intended stay in Libya and at least 2 blank pages.
Libya’s eVisa portal and embassy guidance require passports to be valid for at least 6 months and to have blank pages for the entry stamp. Passports with Israeli visas or stamps are not accepted for entry.
Recent digital passport-style color photograph with a plain white background, full-face, no head covering unless for religious reasons.
Official eVisa and embassy sources require a recent passport-style photo with white background and full-face view.
Completed online Libya eVisa application form with personal details, travel dates, and security questions.
Applicants must submit the eVisa form via the official Libya eVisa portal before travel; information must match passport and ticket details.
Round-trip or onward flight booking showing entry into and exit from Libya within 90 days of eVisa issuance and within the 30-day permitted stay.
eVisa validity is 90 days from issuance with a maximum 30-day stay; itinerary should align with these limits to avoid issues at check-in or arrival.
Hotel reservation, tour package confirmation, or invitation letter from a Libyan host covering the intended stay.
Third-party guides to the Libya eVisa and general consular practice indicate that proof of accommodation is typically required for tourist eVisa applications. If staying with a resident, an invitation or sponsorship letter plus copy of the host’s ID/residence documents may be requested.
Evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., recent bank statements) or sponsorship/tour package documents demonstrating at least 1000 LYD or equivalent available for the visit.
Libyan regulations require tourist visitors to have at least 1000 LYD or equivalent upon arrival unless visiting a resident with sponsorship or on a prepaid tour; eVisa applicants may be asked to upload proof of funds or sponsorship. Border officers can still request to see cash, cards, or sponsorship proof on arrival even if an eVisa has been granted.
Recommended
Additional supporting documents such as employment letter, travel insurance, or previous travel history, if requested during eVisa processing.
The eVisa system or Libyan authorities may request extra documents on a case-by-case basis, especially for higher-risk profiles; applicants should be prepared to upload such evidence promptly.
Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
In central Tripoli, walking is often the simplest way to explore; taxis are useful for longer hops but agree the fare upfront so you don’t get a ‘tourist price’ surprise.
2
Libyans can be very hospitable and curious—learning a couple of polite greetings (like “salaam alaikum”) can open doors and smooth interactions fast.
3
If you’re visiting cultural or historic sites, dress modestly and ask before photographing people—small etiquette choices can dramatically improve how you’re treated as a guest.
