Do I need a visa for Syria from Canada?
Electronic authorization required
Travelling to Syria on a Canada passport, you need an e-visa, applied for online before you travel.
| Requirement | e-Visa |
|---|---|
| Permitted stay once admitted | Not specified |
You apply for the e-visa in advance; it is not something arranged once you reach the airport or land crossing. Because the entry system has changed significantly since early 2025, it is worth reconfirming the process close to your travel date rather than relying on anything written before then.
Land routes in from Lebanon and Jordan exist alongside flying into Damascus (DAM) or Aleppo (ALP). Treat any online guide, including this one, as a starting point rather than the final word given how recently things have changed.
