For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

A foreigner may enter, stay in or leave Libya if he holds a valid visa granted on a valid passport issued by a recognised competent authority, or on an equivalent document entitling the holder to return to the issuing state. Citizens of Arab states have the right to enter Libya with personal identity cards through the designated entry points, under the rules set by the General Directorate of Passports and Nationality.

What important funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward-travel or passport evidence may be required?

Entry into and exit from Libya take place through designated places with the permission of the competent authorities, by endorsement on the passport or the document replacing it.

The official source does not state funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance or onward-travel evidence.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

A foreigner authorised to enter or reside for a specific purpose may not depart from that purpose without written permission from the Director General of Passports and Nationality or his delegate. The official source does not state where or how the visa is applied for, or when a stay can be extended.
