Bank Transfer from Libyan Banks to Canadian /other Banks by senseimartin007
Hi I am hearing two different stories. I would appreciate some feedback. I just started work in Libya. I have two bank accounts in Canada - one personal and one corporate. My employer has told me Libyan banks are not allowed to transfer money ...
Your employer has to give you a letter that you bring to the bank. Amman bank does transfers. All you need is to have your Canadian banking information-SORT, bank account number etc. Just ask your bank for that before you go. It all has to be set up ... Read More
Can anyone talk to me about Libya by inaustralia
Hello I am an Australian and wondering if some people living in Libya would correspond with me and educate me about Libya, how it was and how it is? Please message me if you could spare some time and I will provide my email address. Thanks :)
Libyan Rocknroll, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your opinions and thoughts. I am sure many expats appreciate your response as well. As for the free healthcare and electricity, my family and I did receive free healthcare on many ... Read More

Libya remains very unstable at this point, especially given the backward thinking of some segments of the population. With armed militias still roaming the streets, firing guns to get their own way or picking up civilians as they please, the future ... Read More

Desicrated war graves by officeboy
A proud new Libya??
Regarding the breaking up of Libya... bad idea. Libya is one which I think the majority of the people would agree. Time for everyone to stop the nonsense (infighting, power struggles etc) and start rebuilding the country. All the death and ... Read More

Doing business in Libya by Julien
Hi, are foreign investors welcome in Libya? Is it complicated to register a company in Libya? What is the procedure? What is the corporate tax rate in Libya? Is it easy to recruit? Any advice you would share with us? Thank you ...
Magnayapi, welcome to the forum and thank you for your frank discussion about the current situation. It is far better for everyone if businesses are informed of some of the challenges that one may encounter. Too many unexpected surprises may lead ... Read More
New Libya - Boom or Bust?? by Siddiqui
I have been back in the New Libya from September, apart from the major change of removal of weapons from public display all over the place and checkpoints, I don't see much improvement. In my humble opinion it will take a couple of years to get ...
I don't believe that Siddiqui was asking to be repaid for anything.... just did not want to be responsible for paying for other's losses. From the looks of things Siddiqui, you will not be getting much information sharing here. It has been a ... Read More

Afternoon guy's and gal's. How many of you are planning on returning to your former / new jobs? Would be good to meet up over a coffee one day, put faces to names. OB
OMG, Office Boy, you sure did give me a laugh. But at the same time I have to say that it is really sad. Poor Libya! Read More
Life and Work in Libya by jimmyjames
Hello, For the past couple of years I have worked as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan. I enjoy the expat lifestyle but it looks like I will not renew next year, so I am thinking of other places. It's difficult to find online postings of ...
Personally, I would find the job before coming. Too many things in flux to do it all on your own. A great online job site is this: http://www.libyaninvestment.com/libya-job/jobs.html Once you get an offer of employment your employer will ... Read More

Human Rights by MoEl
Soo.... who wants to wager that violations of human rights committed in Libya in the past/next four months have been/will be worse than any of those that occurred in the previous forty years?
Mancuian, comments like that and the feelings behind such comments do not bode well for the revolution. Wasn't the whole point to make a better country? So far, this is yet to be seen. Homes looted, property stolen, arbitrary arrests and torture ... Read More

If only it was that simple. Everyone in Libya has suffered because of the conflict and some continue to suffer. If things are ever going to be peaceful again, everyone has to put their hate and prejudices aside. Without forgiveness and some sort ... Read More
