FOREWORDThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants is launching a campaign all over the world to encourage you, the descendants of Lebanese emigrants, to reconnect with the land of your forefathers and to claim your Lebanese nationality.
A new law, ratified by the Lebanese Parliament on the 24th of November 2015, gives you the right to claim your Lebanese nationality, through a very simple procedure.
Lebanon is the land of a millenary civilization, built on co-existence, love, and harmony. Be proud to belong to it.
Gibran Khalil Gibran, one of our most prominent emigrants, once said “If Lebanon were not my country, I would have chosen Lebanon for homeland”.
I would like to encourage you to seize the opportunity by claiming your Lebanese nationality and preserving your connection to the land of your ancestors. It is your right to invest in their legacy, be proud of their heritage, and preserve it.
Gebran BassilMinister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants
