U.S. citizens in Lebanon are strongly encouraged to depart now.
The commercial airport remains open and there is availability on commercial carriers. Please check flight options at Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport .
Since September 27, the U.S. government also has added thousands of seats in extra capacity to accommodate U.S. citizens and their family members. Much of this capacity has gone unused. Please understand that these additional flights will not continue indefinitely.
If you have not already done so, please complete this crisis intake form if you are a U.S. citizen in Lebanon and want to receive information about departure assistance, obtaining a loan, or applying for an emergency passport. The U.S. Embassy will reach out to you directly and can help direct you to flights with available seats to depart Lebanon to a safe third country, provide eligible U.S. citizens emergency loans, and process emergency passport requests.
U.S. citizens who choose not to depart at this time should prepare contingency plans should the situation deteriorate further. These alternative plans should not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation.
