The United Arab Emirates lifts a travel restriction for its nationals to Lebanon, effective Monday, June 29, 2026, according to the UAE foreign ministry. The ministry states that Emirati citizens will be allowed to travel to Lebanon, with the announcement carried by the official WAM news agency. The foreign ministry also asks citizens to register through its consular services platform before travelling.
The ban had been in place for several weeks and was described as linked to regional developments amid the broader Middle East conflict, including concerns related to Iran’s influence in the area. Earlier, the UAE had imposed the war-related travel ban in April, and it also covered travel to Iraq and Iran alongside Lebanon.
Both outlets report the same key details of the UAE decision: the reopening of travel to Lebanon, its start date of June 29, and the requirement for pre-travel registration with UAE consular services.
