Due to the escalating conflict and the growing risk of a broader confrontation, the embassy strongly recommends that any Vietnamese citizens with plans to travel to Lebanon delay or cancel their trips until the situation stabilizes.

For those unable to leave Lebanon, the embassy advises heightened caution, staying informed through local media, avoiding crowded areas, and steering clear of certain dangerous zones, specifically:

- Southern Lebanon, near the Israeli border.

- Northern and Eastern regions (Beeka Valley), near the Syrian border.

It is also recommended that citizens stock up on food, water, and medical supplies as a precautionary measure.

In case of emergencies or for support, Vietnamese citizens can contact the following:

- Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt: +20 102 613 9869

- Honorary Consulate of Vietnam in Lebanon: +961 70 229 300
