    Journalist Visas Please send us the following documents in support of your application to request a visa on your behalf from the Media Department in Libya:

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

Libyan Law No. 6/1987 (Article 12) requires anyone who employs a foreigner to notify the competent passport office of that employment within seven days of the foreigner starting work, and to notify the same office when the employment ends, within the same period.

The holder may not depart from the purpose for which entry or residence was authorised without written permission from the Director General of Passports and Nationality or his delegate. The foreigner's wife, his minor sons, his unmarried daughters, and the parents and minor siblings he supports have the right to the same residence granted to him. The official source does not state what journalistic work is allowed or whether the holder is tied to one publication.
