Crisis Intake Form

We continue to advise that U.S. citizens depart Lebanon now due to the unpredictable nature of ongoing conflict between Hizballah and Israel and recent explosions throughout Lebanon, including Beirut. The U.S. embassy strongly encourages U.S. citizens, especially those in Southern Lebanon, near the borders with Syria, and/or in refugee settlements to depart those areas immediately. If you choose to remain in Lebanon, be prepared to shelter in place for an extended period. Keep your passport and other identity documents in an easily accessible location.

The U.S. Embassy can direct you to flights with available seats to depart Lebanon to a safe third country, provide eligible U.S. citizens emergency loans to relocate to a safe location, and process emergency passport requests.

We are able to assist U.S. citizens and their immediate family traveling with them to depart the country.  Immediate family members include: spouses, children under 21-years old, and parents with a means to enter the United States or Schengen Area.  We can also assist lawful permanent residents (LPRs) with valid green cards to depart Lebanon.

If you are traveling with family members who we are not able to assist at this time, commercial flights are available to the public. Please check flight options at Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport. We will assist U.S. citizens in seeking access to those flights. You may also wish to consider a short-term emergency loan, as described above.

Travel within Lebanon is conducted at your own risk. The U.S. government cannot guarantee your safety traveling to airports, borders, or during any onward travel. You should consider your personal security situation before traveling anywhere in Lebanon. Only attempt to depart Lebanon or travel within Lebanon if you believe it is safe for you to do so. The U.S. Embassy may not be able to assist U.S. citizens who choose to remain.
