According to passportindex.org, our Lebanese passport allows us to visit only 15 countries visa-free, 25 countries with a visa on arrival while we need an official visa for the others 158 countries.

Europe, USA, Canada and Australia are among the top destinations for Lebanese travelers and all these countries require from us many papers, interviews, proves... in order to grant us a visa while their citizens can visit Lebanon visa-free or at least with a visa on arrival.

We refuse to be treated as second-class citizens and urge the Lebanese minister of foreign affairs to take the appropriate measures in order to strengthen the Lebanese passport status and make it easier for Lebanese citizens to travel without the need of long and expensive procedures.
