Syrian Visa

August 1, 2008 · Print This Article

In order to enter Syria, you need to obtain a valid visa issued by a Syrian embassy or consulate in the country of your residence.* Click here for a list of Syrian embassies and diplomatic missions. If you can’t find your country there, then it’s possible that the role of the Syrian embassy is being handled by another diplomatic mission, in which case you should contact your country’s foreign ministry for information.

Usually you’ll be required to fill out a visa application form in order for your visa to be processed.  Depending on your country of residence, this maybe an online form which you can print then fill out and mail, or you maybe required to visit the Syrian embassy in person and fill out the form and submit it there, along with any other required paperwork.

Visa application is generally a straightforward and easy affair, and it’s highly unlikely that anyone will get turned down for a tourist visa.

An important note: Make sure that you do not have an Israeli visa on your passport prior to applying for a Syrian one, or you maybe turned down. Also make sure that you do not have an Israeli visa or an Israeli customs stamp on your passport before visiting Syria, or you maybe denied entrance into the country, even if you do have a valid Syrian visa.

* Note: Sometimes visas are issued at the Syrian border, this is true for certain nationalities and for short stays. Contact the Syrian Embassy in your country to find out if you are eligible.

The following is an official visa fact sheet issued by the Syrian ministry of tourism:

Entry Visas and Customs Facilities

    Do British Nationals require visit visas?

  4. Syria Guide on October 9th, 2008 11:16 am

    Dear Abdullaziz, most Arabs do not need a visa to enter Syria, however I’m not sure about your refugee status, you should ask at the Syrian embassy in Ireland.

    And Sheena, yes British nationals need visit visas to enter Syria. Contact the Syrian embassy closest to you for further information.

    Hello,

    I’m portuguese, holder of a portuguses passport and I intend to go to Syria coming from Jordan, by land and then heading to Istanbul. ’cause there’s no Syrian Embassy in Portugal I got in touch with the Syrian Embassy in Madrid (Spain) which is the nearest to Portugal. I was informed that I don’t need to apply for the visa. I was told that for my case the visa would be issued on the border when I crossed from Jordan. Can you please confirm it? Thanks

    I am a Saudi citizen wanting to reside in Syria for more than a year. Do I understand correctly that when I enter Syria, I do not need any form of visa or application for residence as well as do not pay any fees upon entry? and that I can stay in Syria as long as I wish as long as I register with the police and have a HIV free certificate. Please clarify if my understanding is correct.
    Thank you

    Hello
    Do you know if Australians, New Zealanders and UK citizens can obtain a visa upon arrival in Damascus? We live in the UAE and are residents of the UAE.
    Thank you very much

    Hello,

    I am an Irish citizen born in the United States, trying to obtain a visa for Syria in the quickest manner possible. What do I have to do? Also, since there is no Syrian embassy in Ireland, is it possible for me to get a visa at the border (from Turkey).

    Thank you,

    Sean King

    He would like to go to Syria so he went to apply for a visa at the Syrian Embassy in Baghdad, and they keep promising to give him a visa but each day, there is nothing. What should he do ?

    Hi there, I’d like to know whether I can get an entry visa to Syria from the embassy in Amman. The Jordanian consul in my nearest consulate has already assured me of my Jordan visa but I still cannot get any info as to where to get my Syrian visa.

    I am a Filipino national working in the Maldives. I will be travelling to Jordan-Syria on Feb 2011. If you have any email contact details for the Syrian embassy in Amman, kindly forward to me.

    Thanks & regards

    Hi,
    I hold a Portuguese passport and now i’m doing some business trip in Iran. Portugal don’t have a Syrian Embassy, so is it possible to flight from Tehran to Damascus for a business trip just for 4 or 5 days and be back to Tehran. Can I get a VOA at the airport, if this help, I was 30 days last year in Damascus.
    Thank you for the information

  89. Aliyah on April 8th, 2011 5:48 pm

    Hi!

    I was there in Syria last year 2010.I got married only on a sheik h since I am a muslim but could not register the marriage due to luck of documents. What is the documents needed for a Filipino to get married in Damascus to my Jordanian Palestinian fiance who is living in Damascus?I am currently holding a UAE residence visa. Please I need the details of the documents so this time it will not fail just like last year.

  90. Ali on April 12th, 2011 10:58 am

    Dear Aliyah, for your case i don’t know why do you wish to register your merrage in Syria since your hasband is not Syrian, im married to a forigner and havent registered mine too, but i have to issue a visa for my wife every time we travel to syrai since we live in Dubai.

  91. Ali on April 12th, 2011 11:02 am

    Dear ■Rui,

    There is a big Syrian Embassy in Tehran, if you need any help in obtaining a visa to Syria they will help you in doing so, if u face any difficulties you can meet the embassedor, his name is Hamid Hassan.

  92. Ali on April 12th, 2011 11:04 am

    The requirments for getting a tour visa to syria for non Arabs and non Iraqi is the orginal passport and 3 photographs, make sure to have Euro change since in some Syrian embassies like the one in yerevan they accept only Euros. an application can be filled in the embassy.

  93. samor on April 23rd, 2011 12:26 pm

    Hello..

    I am planning to apply for visit visa to syria. my husband is from syria and i am currently residing in doha now. i just want to know what are ther procedures to obtain the visa.

    hope to hear from you soon. thank you in advance.

  94. Ali on April 25th, 2011 8:32 am

    Dear Samor;

    it depends on your nationality, if you are an Arab(other than Iraq) you will obtain one from the airport in Syria but if you are other than that you’ll need to visit the Syrian embassy with 2 photos and a valid passport copy and Qatar visa and fill the application over there. give them a call to check.

  95. chelle190281 on April 25th, 2011 10:07 pm

    samor, i would check with your foreign office about travel to syria at the moment as many are advising not to travel there unless it is absolutely essential. my husband is also syrian but we have had to cancel our trip thisyear due to the trouble which is rapidly getting worse there.
