Libya eVisa for Italian citizens: A simpler way to get approved

Italian passport holders now have a faster, more reliable way to apply for a visa to Libya. With the Libya eVisa, you can complete the entire application online—no embassy visits required.

Do Italian citizens need a visa for Libya?

Yes, Italian nationals must obtain a visa before entering Libya.

The Libya eVisa is a digital document that’s linked to your passport and gives you official permission to enter the country. Once approved, it’s valid for entry via airports, land borders, or seaports, giving you flexibility in how you travel.

Libya’s policy on Israeli stamps and visas

Libya strictly refuses entry to anyone carrying Israeli entry or exit stamps in their passport, even if they hold a valid eVisa.

This includes transit stamps or Israeli visas from previous trips. If your passport contains any of these markings, you won’t be allowed to enter the country. Consider renewing your passport before applying, if needed.

What documents are required for a Libya eVisa?

1. An Italian passport that’s valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date in Libya. It should also have at least one blank page for visa stamps.

2. A color passport photo taken against a white background. It should be recent (taken within the last six months).

3. A copy of your sponsor’s passport if someone else is paying for your trip, such as a family member, employer, or host in Libya.

4. A cover letter from your sponsor explaining who they are, why they are sponsoring your trip, and their contact details. This should match the details provided in your application.

5. You must declare that you have at least 1,000 Libyan Dinars (approximately €195) to cover your stay.
