Payment, transit and practical tips
- Emergency numbers
- General 1415 · Ambulance 191
- eSIM availability
- Libyana offers eSIM for compatible devices, online or through service centres; the published activation price is LYD 10. Visitor identity and activation eligibility must be confirmed.
- Cash declaration
- Customs lists USD 30000 on entry, USD 5000 on exit and LYD 1000 in either direction, with a declaration above those amounts. UK guidance says USD 10000 in either direction and no dinar export. Declare above the lower applicable threshold and obtain written guidance before taking dinars out. Sources differ; confirm with the embassy or your airline.
- Duty-free allowance
- Customs describes relief for non-resident personal belongings, jewellery up to LYD 10000 and small new goods up to LYD 500. Tobacco quantities on the page need clarification before use in a calculator.
- Medicines
- Customs mentions personal-use medicines but does not establish the permit process or quantity limit for controlled medicines.
- Registration after arrival
- Register at the nearest police station within 3 days. UK guidance says one week; the shorter period is retained. Sources differ; confirm with the embassy or your airline.
- Leaving the country
- For Turkish visitors who exceed their visa stay, the MFA says an exit visa must be obtained from the Passport Authority. The general penalty tariff is unconfirmed.

Frequently asked questions
Do Egyptians need a visa for Libya?
The ordinary-passport checker accepts an online application. Female holders have an airport-specific exemption at MJI/MRA. Security-letter age wording is unclear, so confirm it before departure.
Do Tunisians need a Libya visa?
The Arabic official checker and airline rules confirm visa exemption. The permitted stay was not established by these sources.
Can Algerians and Mauritanians enter without a visa?
The confirmed air-entry exemption covers MJI/MRA. Mauritanian holders have up to 90 days and still need a security letter. The Algerian stay limit is unconfirmed.
What is the Libya eVisa price?
The public portal does not disclose a confirmed fee. Published consular tariffs are channel-specific and must not be used as the eVisa price. Review the official payment screen before paying.
How long does the Libya eVisa take?
The portal says several days to a week. It does not specify calendar or business days. Travel only after the required approvals are issued.
Can I show the Libya eVisa on my phone?
The portal says the approved document is emailed and must be saved for arrival. It does not confirm that a phone copy alone is sufficient or that printing is mandatory.
Which airports accept the electronic visa?
The confirmed airports are Mitiga (MJI) and Misurata (MRA). Separate nationality restrictions must also be checked.
Does Gulf residence give visa-free entry?
A general GCC-residence exemption was not confirmed. Eligibility depends on the passport and the relevant application channel.
Can I transit through Libya without a visa?
An airside exemption was not confirmed. The published transit visa is valid for 45 days from issue and allows no more than 15 days after entry; it requires a final-destination ticket and visa.
Do I need to register after arrival?
Use the shorter published deadline: registration at the nearest police station within 3 days. Another official source gives one week. Sources differ; confirm with the embassy or your airline.
