“Courtesy Residency” To Foreign Husbands Of Lebanese Women

Good to know that this is now being enforced:

foreign men who have been married to a Lebanese woman for over a year, and their children, can benefit from a “courtesy” residency according to a decree law issued in May 31, 2010

But the fact that people are being urged to benefit of this window of opportunity shows that this is not by any mean a permanent solution. As for “Courtesy Residency”, it’s a term that I’ll gladly bundle with “Civil Union” and “Honorary Doctorate” as sloppy consolation prizes that will never be proper alternatives to the real stuff..
