Lebanon's General Security agency announced Monday (August 6th) it has opened 17 centres across the country that would receive applications for Syrians who want to travel back home, Lebanon's Naharnet reported.
The statement said Syrians in Lebanon could call hotlines and "regularise" their status with authorities in case of outstanding legal or security problems.
It did not provide details on what was needed for applications or under what circumstances they might be rejected.
Syria's government will be setting up a committee to co-ordinate repatriating millions of its nationals who fled the country's seven-year conflict, state media has said.
