Libya Visa UPdate 02/09/2011

Thanks for this update office boy - I am planning to go back in - to Tripoli - in mid-December - but was hoping to stay for a month.  Any way to get around this?...I really want to stay as long as I can to help out in any way i can.  Please let me know if length of stay changes.  Also - do you know cost and time/day of flight from Malta to Djerba?..and how do I get from there to tripoli once I land?...any assistance here would be greatly appreciated!!  :-D

Jenni

sorry - I wrote that without completely reading your post!!  :-(  So Djerba is inside Tunisia, am I right?..So I would need a visa for Tunisia as well?...and Malta?...trying to cover all my bases here...

thx officeboy for update and i had already residence and it will expire end of December but i am Egyptian it mean i need visa to Tunisia ???
is it safe from degerba to tripoli an what kind of transportation by by bus or by boat ???

thx for your kind help

Hilton,
You need to check with your Embassy, I cant advise on Egyptian / Tunisian visa's.
If you have a Resi permit, you are able to cross from the Egyptian side and drive to Benghazi, no need to go through Tunisia.

It seems things have changed and you now apply directly to the local embassy for a visa and it is issued there - there is however a possibility that the visa issued by the embassy needs to be reissued at the border - the other persons travelling with Tim - 18 of them - are getting their visa’s from here but have been advised to have at least 100 lyd for the border - this it what it cost a friend - official receipts etc are provided once payment and visa is stamped in passport.

Latest Update:

I am advised that Tripoli Airport will be undergoing a full inspection and review tomorrow and that Air Malta are preparing to start operations as soon as:

clearance is given as to the operational capability of the air terminal, runways and air traffic control systems
clearance is obtained from Nato
clearance is obtained from the Maltese government to re start operations

Initially there will be:

2 daily flights to  tripoli
1 daily flight to Benghazi.

I will keep you in the picture as more info comes to hand.

thanks officeboy for this update...

Hi Office Boy,

Im working for Brega Oil Co. and my Visa has been expired last month so do i have to visit Libyan Embassy in Islamabad on my behalf as well or wait for Company instructions? Because before it was companies responsibility to arrange visa.
