The new "Tourism Department" in Tripoli has confirmed that "tourist visas" are back. However, the reopened visa will be granted only for tourists who intend to travel along the coast for the purpose of tourism. The procedure for the tourist visa stays the same as before.
The Prime Minister's Office has issued three decrees regarding tourism in Libya: Decree 141 of year 2012 devolves the apparatus of "Tourism Police" to the Ministry of Interior; Decree 122 of year 2012 renames the "General Board of Tourism & Traditional Industries" to the "Tourism Department"; and Decree 130 of year 2012 reorganises the "General Board of Tourism & Antiquities".
