Travel to Syria:

With the fall of the Al Assad regime, international airlines are returning to Damascus International Airport! Qatari Airways, Turkish Airlines, and Royal Jordanian Airlines now offer direct flights, with more carriers expected to join soon. You can also fly into Damascus with Syrian Airlines and Cham Wings Airlines, both providing flights from various destinations.

In the past, many travelers opted for Beirut International Airport as their gateway to Syria, making an overland journey that takes about three to four hours, depending on traffic and visa checks.

Visa to Syria – Travel Advice

• It’s essential to be aware of the strict regulations set by Syrian authorities regarding travel to Israel and self-ruled territories. If border officials find any indications in your passport that suggest previous visits to Israel while processing your Syria visa on arrival, you will be denied entry.
• These restrictions extend to passports with visas or entry/exit stamps from Israel and self-ruled territories, as well as stamps from specific border crossings with Israel that you may have used when traveling through neighboring countries like Jordan or Egypt. If such stamps are present, Syrian immigration officials will refuse entry immediately.
• To ensure a smooth entry into Syria, travelers must understand the importance of their passport stamps and plan their itineraries carefully. The goal is to avoid any complications related to perceived associations with Israel during your entry process.

Land Border Crossings

To prevent being refused entry into Syria, please avoid entry/exit stamps from the following land border crossings:

Jordan Border Crossings:

• Wadi Araba Crossing/South Border
• Allenby/King Hussein Bridge
• Sheikh Hussein Crossing/Northern Border

Egypt Border Crossings:

• Taba
• Nitzana
