No vaccinations are required for entry into Lebanon. Lebanon's medical services are very modern, with most doctors speaking French or English. The private hospitals are generally the best, but more expensive, so insurance should be taken out by all visitors. No duty is payable on personal possessions, and there are no restrictions on bringing foreign or local currency into or out of the country. Visas are delivered by Lebanese embassies abroad .
