looking to update my lebanese citizenship?
mar7aba! I am a daughter of Lebanese immigrants who moved to the west to escape the war. When I was a kid, I used to go to Lebanon every summer and overall I always felt like I am more Lebanese then Western. Now that I am married & moved out, I am looking to establish my own life in Lebanon, without relying on my parents to take me every summer as they stopped visiting as often.
I want to be able to establish my life in Lebanon, I can not move there yet, but I want to start visiting every summer again. The problem is - I don't know where to start. I have a Lebanese citizenship card, but it has not been updated since I was born (it doesn't even have a photo on it). I am assuming I would start there, updating that, but I don't even know how to do that.
Anyone in the same boat as me? How did you do it? Any tips?
My end goal is to buy a home in Lebanon so when I have kids in the future I can keep bringing them and giving them the beautiful childhood I had in Lebanon.
I am assuming I would update my citizenship card, open a bank account, what else would you recommend? Shukran for all your help :)
