Do UAE citizens need a visa for Libya?

Yes, they do. The Libya eVisa is a digital travel authorization that lets eligible travelers enter the country by air, land, or sea.

Important entry restriction

Libya doesn’t allow entry to anyone with Israeli stamps or visas in their passport. Even if your application is approved, border officials will not allow you to enter if your passport shows evidence of travel to Israel.

Libya eVisa requirements for UAE citizens

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.
