The Embassy of Switzerland in Lebanon closely monitors the situation in the region. The risk of escalation in the region remains high. The development of the situation is  uncertain and a renewed deterioration of the security situation throughout the country is possible at any time. It is not recommended to travel to Lebanon for tourism or any other non-urgent travel.

Swiss nationals who remain in Lebanon or travel there contrary to the recommendations of the FDFA  must be aware that Switzerland may only be able to provide limited services or none at all if the security situation deteriorates further.

The Swiss Embassy in Beirut is currently open and continues to provide its usual services. We kindly ask you to keep your contact and travel data up to date on the Travel Admin App or with the Swiss representation where you are registered.
