Libya eSIM
Libya has no traveller eSIM service available today, and we do not list a plan for it. The people who do visit almost always travel with a licensed tour company that handles the visa sponsorship and arranges local communication on the ground. What follows is travel context only, not advice on buying a plan you cannot buy.

Hoeveel data je écht nodig hebt
Whatever data you end up using depends on the local line your operator arranges. In practice it is light — messages and a few photos a day — because the desert legs of a trip have no service anyway.
Bij aankomst
The operating gateways are Mitiga in Tripoli (MJI), Benina in Benghazi (BEN) and Misrata (MRA); the old Tripoli International (TIP) was damaged and is not in normal service. Some travellers come overland from Tunisia or Egypt, where the process depends on the situation on the day and on what the tour operator has arranged.
Waar de dekking verandert
Population and network both hug the Mediterranean coast from Tripoli through Misrata and Sirte to Benghazi. The interior — the Fezzan, the Ubari sand sea, the Akakus mountains — is Sahara with effectively nothing, which is why desert trips run on the expedition's own satellite equipment rather than on a phone.
Steden waar reizigers naar vragen

Veelgestelde vragen
Can I buy an eSIM for Libya from you?+
Not at the moment — we do not list a plan for Libya, because traveller roaming there is not normally available. This page exists as travel context only. If you want us to let you know should that change, message us on LINE at https://lin.ee/skDPoNx or email esimonline.asia@gmail.com and we will keep the request on file.
So how do visitors stay in contact inside Libya?+
Almost entirely through the licensed tour company, which typically arranges a local line for the group and carries satellite equipment for the desert sections. Contact with home tends to happen in bursts whenever the group is back in a coastal town, so agree in advance how many days of silence each leg of the trip will involve.
Can I travel to Libya independently?+
In practice it is very hard. Visas normally require a sponsor or a licensed tour company to file on your behalf, and many governments still advise against travel to the country or to large parts of it. Before planning anything, read your own government's current travel advice and check carefully what your travel insurance will and will not cover there.
Wanneer begint een Libië-eSIM dagen te tellen?+
De meeste pakketten hier starten wanneer de telefoon voor het eerst verbinding maakt met een netwerk op de bestemming, zodat je thuis van tevoren kunt installeren en na landing kunt aanzetten. Elke pakketpagina vermeldt zijn eigen regel.
Moet ik mijn thuis-SIM verwijderen?+
Nee. De eSIM is een tweede lijn, dus je behoudt je thuisnummer voor sms-OTP. Zet roamingdata uit op de thuislijn en stel de eSIM in als datalijn.
