Australia tourist / visitor visa success rate for Lebanese citizens

In the UK — the only government that publishes visa outcomes broken down by both nationality and visa type — 85.5% of Lebanese tourist visa applications were approved, down from 85.7% a year earlier, across 14,807 decisions in the year to March 2026. For Lebanese tourist applicants that is the only approval rate on record anywhere. Australia does not publish tourist decisions by nationality, so no Australia-specific rate exists for Lebanon — and any site quoting one is estimating. Where Lebanon does have published rates, they run at 60.6% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 82.7% across 118,007 Schengen short-stay decisions in 2025 — a wider picture of how Lebanese applications are treated, though neither is a tourist-visa figure. What Australia does document is the decision itself: officers assess whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time, and the biggest single lever is return intent. On the money side: No official minimum. Show funds that credibly cover flights, accommodation and daily costs for your stay — steady bank statements beat a one-off deposit. The estimator below weighs your own finances, ties, travel history and refusal record against that.

For Lebanese citizens applying, a tourist visa to Australia is decided mainly on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. Public statistics point to an approximate base approval of around 77% for this route — but your own profile can move that figure a lot in either direction. Published approval rates for Lebanon run at 60.6% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 82.7% on Schengen short-stay applications in 2025.

Where Lebanon sits in the official data

Two governments publish visa outcomes broken down by country. Neither predicts an individual decision, but together they show how Lebanese applicants fare relative to everyone else, and which of the destinations we cover currently refuses the fewest applications from Lebanon.

UK tourist visas — year to March 2026

The UK is the only government that publishes outcomes by nationality and visa type, so it is the one place a tourist-visa figure for Lebanon actually exists. 14.5% of Lebanese tourist applications were refused across 14,807 decisions , against 14.3% the year before. That volume makes Lebanon the 28th-largest source of UK tourist applicants, of 110 countries with meaningful numbers. Different country, different rules — a reference point, not your odds here.

US visitor visas — FY2025

A 39.4% adjusted refusal rate places Lebanon 123rd of 199 nationalities the State Department publishes — a lower refusal rate than 38% of them. The median nationality sits at 31.8%, so Lebanon is 7.6 points above it.

Schengen short-stay visas — 2025

Across all Schengen consulates in Lebanon, 17.3% of short-stay applications were not issued — 70th of 127 countries with a meaningful application volume, and 1.7 points above the 15.6% median.

Schengen short-stay applications lodged in Lebanon in 2025, by issuing state. All rows use the European Commission's methodology, so they are comparable with each other — the US figure is computed differently and is shown separately above.

Greece23.7%76.3%13,778
the Netherlands25.7%74.3%2,720
Germany38.6%61.4%11,296

Among Schengen states, applications lodged in Lebanon were refused least often by France at 10.4% and most often by Germany at 38.6% — a gap of 28.2 points on a like-for-like basis. That gap reflects who applies where as much as how strictly each state decides, so it is a starting point for choosing a main destination, not a ranking of leniency. You must still apply to the state where you will spend the most nights.

Demand and outcome moved together for Lebanon between 2024 and 2025. Schengen consulates there decided 118,007 short-stay applications, against 115,202 the year before — up 2.4% — while the refusal rate went from 16.9% to 17.3%. Had 2024's rate held, roughly 469 of the 118,007 applicants refused in 2025 would have been issued a visa instead.

What actually moves the needle

Strong ties to home — a stable job, family, or property

This is the heart of tourist decisions for Australia. Make it concrete and documented rather than assumed.

Avoid the common pitfall

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official Australia tourist visa success rate for Lebanese citizens?

Not one we currently carry. We only print a rate when we hold the publisher's own figure for this nationality and this visa category, and we do not hold one for Australia tourist visas. The figure shown on this page is a modelled estimate built from published route-level data and your answers — we label it as such rather than presenting it as a government statistic. What you can act on is the documented requirement set below, which is what the decision actually turns on.

What matters most for an Australia tourist visa?

Officers focus on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. In practice the single biggest lever is return intent, so make that part of your application as strong and well-documented as possible.

Does a previous visa refusal affect my chances?

Yes. A prior refusal weighs on new applications until its underlying reason is addressed. Find out exactly why you were refused, fix what caused it, and clearly show what is different this time.

Is this a guarantee of approval?

No. GetVisaOdds is an educational planning tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Only a consular or immigration officer can decide your application. We show approximate odds and the reasons behind them so you can prepare better.

Is my information private?

Completely. The estimate runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to a server or stored — there is no sign-up and nothing to leak.

How much money do I need for an Australian visitor visa?

There is no fixed amount. Show funds that comfortably cover your flights, stay and daily costs — recent bank statements with a steady balance plus evidence of income work best.

How long can I stay on a subclass 600 visa?

Grants are typically for 3, 6 or 12 months, decided by the officer. Longer stays draw more scrutiny of your funds and ties.

Why are Australian visitor visas refused?

Most refusals come down to the genuine-visitor test: weak ties, unclear funds, or an unconvincing purpose. Address those three and you remove most of the risk.

Do I need travel insurance for Australia?

It is not mandatory for the subclass 600, but Home Affairs recommends it, and it strengthens the impression of a well-planned, genuine visit.
