We are monitoring the deeply concerning situation in Lebanon closely and keeping all existing pathways under review.
Lebanese nationals who wish to join family members in the UK can do so via the existing range of routes available.
Any application for a UK visa will be assessed against the requirements of the Immigration Rules. Immediate family members of British citizens and those settled in the UK who wish to come and live in the UK can apply under one of the existing family visa routes.
