Employment Document Processing
Employment Document Processing
Securing a work permit through the Lebanese Ministry of Labour requires a precise set of attested employment documents. The Ministry applies strict verification standards to foreign-issued qualifications, demanding that each document carry a complete chain of authentication from the country of origin through to the Lebanese Consulate. Missing a single attestation link in this chain will result in application rejection and costly resubmission delays.
Lebanon's labour regulations require foreign workers to present attested educational degrees, professional experience certificates, and signed employment contracts as part of the work permit dossier. The Ministry of Labour cross-references these documents against employer declarations and syndicate registrations, particularly for regulated professions such as engineering, medicine, and accounting. Any inconsistency between the attested documents and the employer's filing can trigger an investigation or outright refusal of the permit.
GreenAttest provides a structured employment document processing service that addresses every attestation requirement for Lebanese work permits. We verify that your qualifications, experience letters, and contracts meet Ministry of Labour formatting and content standards before initiating the attestation chain. Our team coordinates notarization, UAE MOFA attestation, and Lebanese Consulate endorsement as a single managed workflow, delivering your complete document package ready for Ministry submission. GreenAttest has processed employment attestation files across dozens of professions and understands the specific documentation expectations for each sector in Lebanon.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips

Frequently Asked Questions
The Ministry of Labour typically requires attested educational certificates, professional experience letters, a signed employment contract, and valid identification documents. For regulated professions, you may also need to provide proof of syndicate registration or professional licensing. GreenAttest will review your specific case and provide a tailored checklist based on your profession and employer requirements.
Yes, each experience letter must carry its own complete attestation chain. The Lebanese Ministry of Labour examines every document independently, and letters that lack proper attestation will be excluded from your work permit application. GreenAttest processes each letter through the full notarization, MOFA, and consular attestation sequence.
The complete process, from initial document submission through final consular attestation, takes approximately 10 to 15 business days. The timeline depends on the number of documents, the responsiveness of notarizing authorities, and the current workload at the Lebanese Consulate. GreenAttest provides regular progress updates throughout the process.
Yes. If your qualifications or experience letters originate from different countries, GreenAttest can coordinate the attestation requirements for each jurisdiction.
