About the Lebanese Embassy in The Hague

According to the Dutch government, Lebanon is represented by Ambassador Walid Minkara (credentials presented 12 november 2025). The Hague is the seat of the Dutch government and of international institutions such as the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the OPCW, so many embassies in the city also follow their work. One honorary consulate supports Lebanese citizens in other parts of the Netherlands.

Consular services

Typical consular services include:

• Lebanese passports and emergency travel documents
• Certification and legalisation of documents
• Powers of attorney and notarial acts
• Certificates for pensions abroad
• Citizenship and civil register matters

Documents checklist

Do I need an appointment?

Ask in advance whether your service needs a booked slot.

Travelling from the Netherlands to Lebanon

Dutch citizens need a visa for Lebanon, which can be obtained on arrival. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes the current entry rules in its travel advice (in Dutch); check it before booking.

Closing days

Like most offices in the Netherlands, the embassy closes on public holidays – including Easter Monday, King’s Day and Christmas; the Lebanese national day (22 November) usually means a closure too. Many missions also close on their own national and religious holidays – call ahead.

Emergency assistance

For emergencies, the embassy’s number is +31 70 365 89 06. The embassy can help with lost passports, arrests and serious accidents, but it cannot cover costs or interfere with Dutch authorities. In the Netherlands, the emergency number is 112; for non-urgent police matters call 0900 8844.
