الحكومة تقرر عدم فرض "تأشيرة مسبقة" على الخليجيين وسلام يؤكد اتخاذ كافة الاجراءات لمواجهة الارهاب

That's fantastic news and long due....it is time for others to feel the shame we have to go through when applying for visas

Great News, it was time...

Excellent, excellent news. This is long overdue, especially since many terrorists are Khalijis.

And this will help how? We scan the visa application for traces of explosives? Or maybe by looking at the size of the beard?

according to reciprocity they should be allowed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Iranian_citizens
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Lebanese_citizens (the map is wrong)

this is absolutely not true, it is just because of pure racism especially that Lebanese integrate quite well in the countries they immigrate to.

these people should also not be able to easily access canada without proper scrutiny - the gulf arabs, primarily the qatari and saudis, are the worlds two top sponsors of islamist terrorism on a global scale.

the reason it's not reciprocal is because lebanese may not return to lebanon.

Finally, this is a positive step in the right direction.

I have a better suggestion: let them in, drive them straight to prison and then to meat chopper.

enforcement of visas when u dont have borders? swell!

Very good plan, enforce it as quickly as possible.

treat gulf citizens the way gulf countries treat Lebanese citizens
as simple as that

Visa do not help! As Lebanese government visa procedures are still those of the 19th century. The process will just irritate and make it inconvenient to travel to Lebanon. I suggest that our government. instals iris scanners, and starts taking finger prints of all foreigners entering the country. Syrians included. This is a procedure in many countries now. We collect a data base of all those visiting our country. The Visa of the 21st century is e-visa. online application, after which the applicants data is searched in the data banks of the surete general..in seconds actually, and the ok is given to travel online, and in a matter of minutes. Iris scans and finger prints must be introduced immediately!!

Ok, so now the article has changed and it's been updated that the plan failed. Thank you Rifi and Mashnouq for showing your true, sectarian, and foreign master colors.

treat gulf citizens entering Lebanon the same way gulf countries treat Lebanese citizens
naharnet admin is something wrong with what am saying

please khalijis, go to turkey, it's better, cheaper and safer.
Nobody will look at u scornfully coz u're called Omar or have a beard.
Go spend ur money elsewhere, and let this country plunge into poverty...
Lebanese sunnis avoiding lebanon, so sunni khalijis should do the same, let lebanon to the pro-Khamenei and pro-Assad scum...

This is stupid.

1- Rejecting them at the airport or the embassy is the same. Authorities won't have much more "info" about potential terrorists whether they apply in an embassy or at the customs.

2- Applying reciprocity is a must but may kill badly needed tourism. Oh I forgot, Hezbollah handles killing tourism every year with their wars, fights and open invitation to the region's forces to attack our country

It wont happen, unfortunately we are accustomed to bending our backs and prostituting ourselves to foreign countries. We need to implement a policy of recipocity and it is no coincidence that the overwhelming majority of terrorists are either Saudi/Gulf nationals or are financed by that part of the region.

haha Frankenstein...."dance on your grave and pass out baklewa"....you truly personalize how retarded and freakish your community has become and what low life hooligan outlaws its producing.
