Almost certainly a newly issued Lebanese passport.
- CrazyCatDog 7y agoYou don’t need a valid passport to land in Beirut, at least that’s my lived experience. I have dual citizenship, I was born in XX. Our Lebanese passports had expired, so my mother and I used our XX passports to fly into Beirut several years ago—I purchased a visa upon touching down, but boarder control insisted I return it, they recognized my last name [1]. Leaving two days later without being able to produce evidence of military service (I was 17 at the time) was a nightmare, and the XX government would not help seeing as how this was not their problem (the curse of a dual citizenship), but I got lucky (see [1]). Come to think of it, Lebanon was in such disarray at the time, it would have been nearly impossible to renounce my Lebanese citizenship—even today, I have no idea what the first step would be. [1] I’m no Ghosn, but my grandfather had toyed with the idea of running for federal office in Lebanon at the time.
