Passports and visas are required. The restrictions on the use of U.S. passport for travel to, in, or through Libya were lifted in February 2004. Please see additional posts on Special Circumstances. The government of Libya does not allow persons with passports bearing an Israel visa or entry/exit stamps to enter the country. At this time, neither Libya nor the U.S. provides visa services in each other's countries; U.S. visitors to Libya should therefore plan to obtain a visa via a third country. Inquiries about obtaining a Libyan visa may be made through the Libyan Liaison Office in Washington, DC. The liaison office is located at 2600 Virginia Avenue, NW - Suite 705, Washington, DC 20037, phone number 202-944-9601, fax number 202-944-9606. (However, neither the Libyan Mission to the UN in NY nor the Libyan Liaison Office in Washington accept visa applications.) The land borders with Egypt and Tunisia are subject to periodic closures even to travelers with valid Libyan visas. Short-term closures of other land borders occur with little notice. Within three days of arrival, visitors must register at the police station closest to where they are residing or they may encounter problems during their stay or upon departure.
