How Do We Rank It?

passportreports.com's AI-supported ranking model ranks passports by mobility score, a metric that combines visa-free entry, visa on arrival, and electronic travel authorization access. When scores are tied, it first compares the number of visa-free destinations, then destinations accessible with electronic travel authorization, and finally visa-on-arrival destinations.

About Lebanon

Lebanon is a small country on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Its geography is defined by a narrow coastal plain and two parallel mountain ranges, the Mount Lebanon range and the Anti-Lebanon range. The Bekaa Valley lies between these mountains, providing fertile farmland. This varied terrain has influenced settlement patterns and local livelihoods for millennia.

In cities like Beirut and Tripoli, daily life blends historic neighborhoods with bustling commercial streets. Cafés, markets, and seaside promenades are central to social interaction and leisure. Lebanese cuisine, known for its mezze and grilled dishes, is a daily source of pride and hospitality. The rhythm of life reflects a mix of traditional values and modern aspirations.

Lebanon's location at the crossroads of the Middle East has historically made it a hub for trade, education, and cultural exchange. The country's society is composed of diverse religious and ethnic communities that have coexisted for centuries. Despite periodic challenges, Lebanon maintains strong cultural and economic ties with the Arab world and the West. Its passport serves as a practical link to the global Lebanese diaspora and international mobility.
