Security situation in Libya
Libya has ongoing political instability and sporadic armed conflict. Check your government's travel advisory before booking. Avoid non-essential travel to remote areas, especially near the borders with Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt. Register with your embassy upon arrival.
eVisa is single-entry
The eVisa allows only one entry. If you leave Libya for any reason, you'll need to apply for a new visa. Plan your itinerary so you don't accidentally exit and get stuck.
No visa on arrival
Don't assume you can get a visa at the airport — you can't. The eVisa must be approved before you fly. Airlines will deny boarding without a valid visa.
What happens at the border
1
Complete the online eVisa application
Go to the official Libyan eVisa portal and fill out the application form. Upload your passport scan, photo, itinerary, and insurance documents. Pay the fee online with a credit/debit card. Double-check all details before submitting — errors cause delays.
2
Wait for eVisa approval
Processing typically takes 5-7 business days. Monitor your email for updates. Once approved, you'll receive a PDF eVisa. Print at least two copies — one for your records and one to hand to immigration officers.
3
Arrive at the airport and go through immigration
At Tripoli Mitiga International Airport (or other entry points), proceed to the 'eVisa' lane. Present your printed eVisa, passport, and return ticket. The officer will scan your passport and stamp it. Have your accommodation address ready in case they ask.
4
Register with local authorities (if staying long-term)
If you plan to stay more than 30 days, you must register with the local police or immigration office within 7 days of arrival. This is a legal requirement and helps avoid fines when you leave.

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 5-7 business days after you submit your application. Apply at least 2 weeks before your planned departure to be safe. There is no expedited service, so don't leave it to the last minute.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. You must leave Libya before the 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines and future visa bans. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to exit and reapply for a new visa.
The standard eVisa is single-entry. If you leave Libya, you'll need a new visa to return. Make sure you don't cross the border and come back without a fresh eVisa.
If rejected, you'll receive an email explaining the reason (often incomplete documents or a passport issue). You can reapply after fixing the problem, but the application fee is non-refundable. Contact the Libyan embassy in Rabat for guidance if you're unsure.
Libya doesn't require a yellow fever certificate for travelers coming from Morocco. However, it's always wise to have routine vaccinations up to date. Check with your doctor before travel.
No, visa on arrival is not available for Moroccan passport holders. You must have the eVisa approved before you board your flight. Airlines will check this before allowing you to check in.
The local currency is the Libyan dinar (LYD). You can exchange money at banks or official exchange offices in Tripoli. Credit cards are accepted in some hotels and larger restaurants, but cash is king in most places. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash — use ATMs where possible.
