The following statement was released by Middle East Airlines: “Middle East Airlines – Lebanese Airways informs its Honorable Customers that the European Union has categorized Lebanon as a “white country” in regards to the COVID-19 epidemic. Such a positive decision doesn’t automatically guarantee that Lebanese with a Visa Type C tourist will be allowed to travel to various European Union countries; instead, they shall wait for each country’s choice independently. Therefore, travelers are kindly requested to check the conditions of entry to the European Union countries before planning their trips on the following website: https://bit.ly/3zIsswy

It should be emphasized that the two European nations that now allow admission to Lebanese holders of a Visa Type C tourist visa are France and Cyprus, with a number of other European nations expected to follow the decision.
