Visa Port was founded in 1995 in Saida, Lebanon, by a former lawyer who was tired of watching families lose their reunification applications over a single form field. He started processing visas for neighbours, then for their neighbours, then for half of south Lebanon.
Three decades later the office is still in the same building on Riad El Solh Street. Same principle: read every page, never submit an application you haven't triple-checked, tell the truth about what's possible and what isn't. The difference now is that the applicant doesn't have to come to Saida to apply.
We built a digital terminal — a portal where any applicant, anywhere, can upload their passport, track their visa status in real time, chat with us about specific fields, and pay via Whish or credit card. Same thirty years of expertise. New interface.
Founded Visa Port in 1995 after fifteen years of immigration law. Reads every form twice. Rejects more applications than he files. The reason our approval rate is what it is.
Joined the family business in the 2000s. Specialises in Schengen, GCC, and student visas. Reads the fine print on every embassy policy update the day it's issued.
Opened a small visa-and-immigration office on Riad El Solh Street in Saida. First client: a family reunification case that took four months of paperwork and got approved on the first embassy visit.
Crossed five thousand cumulative applications across tourist, work, family, and student visa categories. Built direct relationships with consulates in Beirut, Amman, and Damascus.
Added Canadian Express Entry, Australian skilled migration, and EU long-term residency to the service menu. Sami joins full-time, splitting the caseload.
Launched portal.visa-port.com — a real-time application tracking system with encrypted document upload, per-field chat, AI consultation, and multi-gateway payment. Thirty years of expertise, delivered online.
We submit when an application is ready, not when the applicant is impatient. A rejected visa wastes everyone's time, including ours.
If your case has a low chance of approval, we tell you. We'd rather lose a client than file an application we don't believe in. Free 15-minute consultation, no obligation.
Your passport number, your documents, your application history — encrypted at rest, accessible only to your assigned agent. Deleted 30 days after your visa is issued.
