Where do you apply for a visa for Lebanon from Senegal?
A consular visa for Lebanon is filed with the diplomatic post accredited for Senegal, or with the application centre that post has appointed.
- The competent post is the one accredited for Senegal, which is not always the nearest one geographically.
- An application centre collects the file and the biometrics. It does not decide, it cannot speed up a case, and it is not an agency.
- Appointments are booked with the post or the centre directly. A slot is never sold, and no one can guarantee one.
What if Lebanon has no embassy in Senegal?
Then the application goes to the post accredited for Senegal, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.
You live in Senegal on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Senegal but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.
