Libya Visa Processing Times

Typical timeframes for eVisa and embassy applications, and why you should apply well ahead.

Official guidance Regularly updated

Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Processing times differ by route. The eVisa is reported to take around 5–7 business days, while embassy applications can take roughly 20 working days after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has approved the request — and often longer, particularly for business and work applications.

Because approvals depend on security clearance and ministry sign-off, and because timeframes can extend without notice, apply well in advance of your intended travel and avoid booking non-refundable arrangements until your visa is issued.
