What Is the Lebanon Covid-19 MOPH Pass?
The Lebanon Covid-19 MOPH Pass is Lebanon’s official pre-arrival health registration managed by the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH). Introduced as the MOPH PASS platform (procedures updated from 27/09/2022), the system centralizes upload of vaccination or test certificates, collects passenger contact details, and issues a QR confirmation that immigration and health authorities can scan on arrival.
Travellers register on the MOPH portal (moph.gov.lb/MoPHPASS) or use authorised services like DoVisa for guided completion. After you upload available COVID vaccination or test documents and submit required contact and flight information, the platform generates a digital confirmation with a QR code sent by email — keep this ready for airline check-in and Lebanese immigration.
The MOPH Pass complements — but does not replace — any visa or entry permit required for Lebanon. It is a trip-specific health registration: it documents your vaccination/test status and captures data for on-arrival PCR testing when required. Notably, MOPH procedures requiring registration have been in place since late 2022; more recent traveller-health guidance (see the CDC country page) clarifies that routine vaccination is not required in many cases, but MOPH still asks travellers to register and provide available records.
Key facts: the MOPH Pass is a health registration issued by Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health. Review general entry rules at Lebanon visa information and the official portal at moph.gov.lb/MoPHPASS. When ready, Apply for your Lebanon Covid-19 MOPH Pass now through DoVisa for guided submission and document checks.

Lebanon Entry Requirements & Restrictions
Passport Validity
Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival — follow guidance from your consulate or the U.S. Department of State for passport requirements.
MOPH PASS Registration & Test Rules
All passengers (except children under 12 and UNIFIL) must register on the MOPH PASS portal and upload any available COVID-19 vaccination or test certificates. The platform also allows payment for on-arrival PCR test fees when required. See the official MOPH page at moph.gov.lb/MoPHPASS.
Vaccination & Testing
Lebanese MOPH requests vaccination records if available, but the CDC notes that routine COVID-19 vaccination is not currently mandatory for entry in many cases — always confirm up-to-date rules on the CDC Lebanon page.
Customs & Prohibited Items
Lebanese customs prohibit certain imports — including restricted agricultural items and weapons — and enforce controls on chemicals and other regulated goods. Check official trade/customs guidance before travel; see Lebanon Prohibited & Restricted Imports for details.
Travel Insurance & Health Care
Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Medical facilities outside Beirut may be limited and serious cases can require transfer to central hospitals. Confirm coverage for evacuation and COVID-related care.
Travel Tips for Lebanon Visitors
Lebanon is a small, historic country on the eastern Mediterranean. Most international travellers arrive at Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY) near the capital. Expect lively food culture, historic sites, and a compact geography that makes multi-destination trips easy.
- Currency: Lebanese Pound (LBP). US dollars (USD) are widely accepted in many hotels, shops and tourist services — carry small LBP notes for local purchases.
- Language: Arabic is the official language; French and English are commonly used in business, tourism and hospitality.
- Time zone: GMT+2 (Eastern European Time) — Lebanon observes daylight saving changes seasonally.
- Airport transfers: Taxis and pre-arranged hotel transfers are the usual options from BEY — confirm pick-up details with your accommodation.
- When to visit: Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November) offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds than summer.
- Safety & local laws: Avoid large demonstrations and follow local media and embassy travel advice for current safety information.
- Connectivity: Buy a local SIM at the airport or in Beirut for better data rates; many hotels offer reliable Wi‑Fi.
- MOPH Pass tip: Complete your MOPH PASS registration and save the QR confirmation offline — mobile reception at busy arrival halls can be slow.
