My typing skills are just as bad as my failing memory as while I was adding my post I did not see the one from Ms Sunshine. Great that entry visas are free as we enjoyed our quick visit and would like to return to Beirut for a longer trip.
Dh and I went to Beirut for 2 days last September and obtained visa at Beirut Airport. From memory I think we went to desk to left of passport control for visa first and I think it is free for visits of up to 48 hours but for more than 48 hours costs something like 25.00 LP so you will need local currency.
