Visa policy of Syria
Syria imposes entry visa fees (visa on arrival or e-visa) on its visitors based on a "principle of reciprocity" – as of April 2026 the situation at the land border is still unclear – Israeli citizens are banned from entering or transiting through the country, Iranian citizens are required to obtain a prior authorization, and Lebanese citizens who do not hold a valid residence permit in another country or do not have at least one family member who is a Syrian citizen are required to obtain a prior visa (obtainable at any port of entry). For entry via Aleppo or Damascus International Airport, citizens of certain countries can enter visa-free, while others are required to obtain a visa on arrival or a traditional visa via the nearest Syrian embassy.
