Welcome to the Swiss Representation in Lebanon

The official representation of Switzerland in Lebanon is your main point of contact for a wide range of matters – from consular services and information about living abroad to guidance on entering Switzerland. We are committed to representing Switzerland’s interests, maintaining dialogue with authorities, organisations and civil society, and strengthening relations between the two countries.

02.06.2026 – Developments in the region

The Embassy of Switzerland in Lebanon closely monitors the situation in the region. Due to ongoing military activities, the security situation may deteriorate further, particularly in the south but also in the rest of the country. The FDFA advises against all travel to Lebanon.

For Swiss nationals: Please refer to the travel advice of the FDFA and keep yourself informed about the current situation. Swiss nationals who remain in Lebanon or travel there contrary to the recommendations of the FDFA must be aware that Switzerland may only be able to provide limited services or none at all if the security situation deteriorates further.

The Swiss Embassy in Beirut is currently open and continues to provide its usual services. We kindly ask you to keep your contact and travel data up to date on the Travel Admin App or with the Swiss representation where you are registered. In case of emergency, you can contact the FDFA Helpline: phone +41 800 24 7 365 or +41 58 465 33 33.
