Tripoli government suspends visa-on-arrival system at airports and border crossings
The Tripoli-based Libyan government temporarily suspended the visa-on-arrival system at airports and border crossings last Thursday, June 11. This measure is part of an effort to regulate the entry of foreigners into Libya and strengthen border control. The suspension will remain in effect until visa issuance mechanisms are reviewed and standardized, and controls are implemented to prevent forgery or exploitation. The Ministry of Interior and the Passports, Nationality and Foreigners Affairs Authority have been tasked with preparing a comprehensive plan for regulating visa procedures, to be submitted to the Prime Minister's office within 30 days. This plan must include technical, security, and administrative controls for proper implementation. While the official reason is a review, the move coincides with a growing anti-illegal migration sentiment in Libya, expressed by the "No to Settlement and No to Naturalisation. Libya for Libyans" movement. However, most undocumented migrants enter Libya via the Sahara Desert, not through official border crossings, and typically lack the documentation for a visa-on-arrival.
