I saw many videos of darak picking up motorcycles off the side of the road and throwing them on a tow truck. Why are they doing that? do they all have no license plates? and if not, did the nefaa reopen for them to register their motorcycles? when i left lebanon the nefaa was closed so no one said anything if you were not registered...so whats the deal now? can they actually register but didnt bother? or u cant register but if ur caught they take ur motorcycle?

Just had this nice comment struck at me after asking about something related to the czech embassy on this subreddit. I refuse to let this person get to me but the thing that got me is that I am probably going to face a lot of people with assumptions about me for just existing as an arab man and its hard man. And it just sucks that this subreddit has a lot of stuff like that here. I feel like it used to be a more safe space a couple years back.

Is nef3a open? As you know the darak mtalyin el dene so A friend of mine nhajazet el moto te3to, mch msajale- it must be registered to get it back

I heard nef3a is open but you need to know someone working there to do the tesjil for you, dont know the reasons behind it.

Any ideas?

I really wanna start buying some volumes of the deluxe edition of berserk but I'm not sure from where. Is there a place here where I can order?

Hi, this is already my third post on this sub, i swear i don't know why i'm being here so much...

Maybe i got interested with your country because you seem to be a similar story to Bosnia, and as i'm learning Arabic i got more interested with you (your music is really cool btw.).

One thing i don't understand at all is how you manage to know who is christian, sunni, shiite in your country?

In Bosnia, even for outsiders it's (relatively) easy. Bosniaks have an arabic- or turkish-muslim name, followed by a surname that is either directly depicting an ancient title during the ottoman reign (f. ex. rizvanbegovic derived from rizvan-bey, rustempasic derived from rüstem-pasha, spahic from sipahi, the son of the sheikh and so on) or of direct turkish or arabic name origin (Halilovic meaning the child of Halil f. ex. or Halebic from Haleb/Aleppo).
Serbs will have their own names, Croats as well. Although they are both christian, croats will be much more likely to use a name of latin-catholic origin, and Serbs something of eastern-orthodox origin. Same goes for surnames. Overlapping might happen, but it's really not that common, as even with neutral names you will have distinct surnames in most cases. Due to our complex history, everyone trends to distinguish himself, so giving any name outside of your bubble might get you problems later on. Not only that, but someone who has a unusual name combination often might be mistaken as a Roma, as they are the only ones that don't bother with them.

But in Lebanon, it seems to be totally different?

On the one hand, arabic names don't have the connotation of being muslim, and i know some acquintances that have christian/western names but are sunni or shia.

What made this to happen, and why it seems that there was no strife for distinguishing each other "name-wise" in Lebanese society?

It's close but looking for other ideas

​

I read on the news that gmayel reported that Assad doesn't want the refugees back.

Does this mean even if we wanted to kick them out by force we couldn't because the Syrian government will interven?

Also what does it mean that berri has signed the parliament's recommendation about the displaced Syrians and referred it to the premiership?

Hi, is anyone here a lawyer, or do you know any decent and respectable lawyer that doesn't charge an arm and a leg (and is fair)?

I just need help with a quick topic.

Thanks!

All my life I have wanted to visit the city due to its historical significance and the city being also one the most holiest site in Christianity and i think it is the same for my Muslim brothers .

Hi everyone. I'd like to hear your opinions about a relevant topic; are you with or against giving women the right to grant her children the Lebanese nationality (considering the demographic changes this step would lead to) ? All opinions are welcome.

Idk how many of you might know of this but spotify has a cool lil DJ that is like an actual DJ who would play songs and even talk here and there, its a fun quirky thing, surprisingly I didnt find it my self w seems its not out in some areas? but I did find a LBCI report about it??? The LBCI link

Do I need a visa to go Egypt?

I'm Lebanese with residency in Muscat valid for more than 6 months

Fellow Lebanese, does our beloved government provide Tax File Numbers for individuals? Or any Tax Identification? I need to provide that to an overseas bank...

I be reading stories on this sub-Reddit about how some people have a Lebanese mom and foreign dad, have lived their lives in Lebanon, but don’t hold a Lebanese passport. They speak our language, know the traditions, know the country up and down, literally as Lebanese as you can get but isn’t Lebanese?! I find that shit kind of stupid.

The solution is easy, change the law to allow women to grant their kids/spouse citizenship (btw all Arab countries are the same, only men can give citizenship to their kids/wife) but as usual their is a problem. As a lot of people pointed out allowing women to give the passport means that you will see a lot (I mean anyone living illegally here) of men hear (mostly Syrians and Palestinians) marry a Lebanese women, and as a lot of people pointed out, we are extremely out dated to the point that parents here literally force their daughters to marry someone (Lebanese or not) for $$$. So you can see the problem illegals here will give the parents a lot of money to marry their daughters and then get the passport and live here legally.

Now this normally wouldn’t be a problem, America does it, Britain does it, literally every European country does it, but it is. Granting millions of Syrians and Palestinians citizenship would literally change the whole demographic of Lebanon. The political problems of Lebanon will grow, and there would be more naturalized Lebanese citizens than normal Lebanese citizens. So essentially Lebanon will be Syria 2.0 or Palestine 2.0 (depending on the amount of people) and the identity of Lebanon would seize to exist. I mean look at America for example they don’t have a national dish or any thing national because they are very diverse (but they are built by immigrants), look at Britain they are starting to kick immigrants to Rwanda, etc…

Now going to back to women being able to citizenship, my view is simple, I would make a law that would allow her to pass citizenship to her kids but not her spouse but will allow her to apply for him for residency. So essentially he wouldn’t be able to vote or anything political but would allow him to work and make money as any Lebanese would to support his family. His kids will be able to get citizenship which I think is fair as they live in Lebanon, went to school here, learn the history of this country, then they are Lebanese. This only works if they are born here and live here.

Now if the kids are born abroad, and the family doesn’t live in Lebanon but the mom still wants to give citizenship to the kids, then I would make a law that would allow them to get the passport once they turn 18. As they are out of the country, and won’t be in a Lebanese school or anything like that, there is no point in giving them citizenship at birth. At 18 they would have the option to go to Lebanon and apply for one if they like.

Honestly I would say that’s the best way to fix our citizenship law with out swinging Lebanons political system and not changing our traditions.

Dear all,

I am curious about the actual legal dimensions of opening a store to sell a service/product (say a library for example) in Lebanon.

I decided to ask over here for 2 reasons

• There might be legal experts/people with previous experience in this sub
• Information will help everyone who views this post later

I am looking for answers on the below points

• Enforceability: Is it enforceable and can a competitor sue a small business?
• Severity: What is the penalty if you operate without a business license?
• Timeframe: Is it necessary to register a company before opening or can you register during your first months of operations?
• Requirement: If it’s only the store owner in the store and no employees (no contract/ insurance etc.), is it necessary to register? If so, what is the optimal registration type for a 1-person small store (self-employment, LLC, etc.)?

Practically speaking, there any many stores in Lebanon that don’t feel registered, but I am curious of the risks involved.

Thank you for your help!

Is there any reputable marketing agency that excels in using Facebook Ads Manager strategies?

The market is flooded with options, and I have tried a few, but unfortunately, they lacked the expertise needed to deliver results.

Does anyone have a positive experience with any agency they can recommend?

you need to apply for an appointment and yet you cant because the website behind it manipulating when its open and it has never worked for me for three days. لا يوجد مواعيد متاحة في الموقع الذي اخترته. Manipulative system needs to be shutdown.

I heard eno for some reason they stopped doing driving license in Lebanon, I want to do an international one, Can I?

Yeah the website isn’t the best but it is actually hard to find info for lebanese residents. Even clicked on a link that was sent to me and it was still hard to find. Eno wallaw 😅.

I just discovered that Lebanon was supposed to join in 2005 Eurovision but couldn’t because of broadcasting issues due to Israel participating.

It’s really unfair and would be great to see the country participate
