Verb (abbreviation of verb) public security situation

Since the end of the civil war in Lebanon, the public security situation has been generally good and the social order has been basically stable. Before 2000, the incidence of vicious criminal cases in Lebanon remained at a low level.

However, in recent years, influenced by regional changes, especially the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Iraq war, religious extremism and anti-Israeli and anti-American sentiment in Lebanon have risen. In 2003, there were many attacks on the interests of the United States and Britain in Lebanon. In addition, due to historical reasons, there are more than a dozen Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, and violent disputes have occurred from time to time.

At present, Israel still frequently sends planes to invade Lebanese airspace for reconnaissance activities, and often creates sound barriers to intimidate it. Hezbollah continues to carry out anti-Israel actions, but its activities are limited to the disputed Shab 'a area in southern Lebanon. The ups and downs of Hezbollah's relations with Israel often affect Lebanon's domestic security and stability.

Eight, legal advice and suggestions related to the problems that the people of China often encounter.

1. About working in Lebanon

Lebanon's labor market is very small. There are about 50,000-60,000 foreign workers working in Lebanon, mainly from Syria, Egypt, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia and other countries. Most of them are engaged in dirty, bitter, tired and dangerous industries, and their wages are about 2.5-5 dollars per hour. The Lebanese government levies labor tax on foreign labor services, and divides the technical grades according to the country of origin of labor services. Skilled workers, such as chefs, charge the highest fees, and each person receives more than 200 dollars a month. At the bottom are laborers, cleaners or domestic servants, each of whom costs about $50 per month.

2. About the labor permit

Under normal circumstances, a labor permit can be obtained through legal channels, but the delay usually lasts for half a year. In order to meet their urgent needs, some Lebanese employers often require workers to apply for tourist visas, and then apply for labor permits and legal residence procedures after arriving in Lebanon. When foreign workers arrive in Lebanon, they stay illegally because it takes too long to apply for a labor permit, or because the employer deliberately delays it (trying to force them to accept unfair treatment because they have no legal status). China workers should remember not to work in Lebanon with tourist visas.

3. With regard to activities in Lebanon

The security control in Lebanon is strict, and the local police check the documents of foreigners strictly, so foreigners must carry legal documents with them.
