Nationality Law & Residency

Nationality is a fundamental legal bond that defines an individual’s legal status and relationship with the State, together with the rights and obligations that follow. In Lebanon, the law regulates matters of residency and domicile, as well as the procedures for acquiring nationality under specific criteria—most notably descent (family lineage), birth in certain circumstances, or naturalization in accordance with the applicable legal process.
