Good news for travelers from the U.S.! As of March 2023, American citizens can now apply for a tourist visa to visit Syria. After years of restrictions, Americans can once again explore this remarkable and ancient country. The process has become more streamlined, making it easier for visitors to experience the rich history, culture, and stunning landscapes that Syria has to offer.
How to Apply for a Syrian Visa
There are two ways for U.S. citizens to apply for a Syrian visa. Visitors can apply independently by visiting the official site evisa.sy, or they can join one of our group or private tours, where we take care of the entire process on their behalf. This includes obtaining visa approval, arranging transfers, booking accommodations, and providing experienced tour guides.
For independent applications, American travelers must submit their passports for an ID check and visa approval, a process that typically takes between 3 to 4 weeks. Once the clearance is granted, the visa will be issued upon arrival at the Syrian border. You do not need to visit an embassy. If the application is denied, there are no fees involved.
Travel to Syria: Tour Options
We offer both group and private tours, tailored to different preferences and budgets.
Syria Group Tours: Our group tours include both classic and budget options. The classic tours feature a Western guide who accompanies the group, while the budget tours are led by a local guide. Both options cover major highlights of the country, such as Damascus, Aleppo, and the ancient ruins of Palmyra.
Syria Private Tours: If you prefer a more customized experience, our private tours can be tailored to suit your specific interests. Whether you’re drawn to Syria’s rich archaeological history, vibrant cities, or stunning landscapes, we ensure your tour is designed to match your preferences.
Booking Your Trip to Syria
With the eased travel restrictions for Americans, there’s no better time to visit Syria. Once your security clearance is approved, you can book your flights and begin planning your unforgettable adventure. Most tours start in Beirut, Lebanon, which is a short drive from Damascus, but you can also enter Syria through Jordan or take a direct flight to Damascus.
