Do I need a visa for Syria from South Africa?

Electronic authorization required

Travelling to Syria on a South Africa passport, you need an e-visa, applied for online before you travel.

This route into Syria goes through an advance e-visa application, submitted before travel. The country's entry system has been in flux since the political transition that began in early 2025, so it is worth confirming current details close to departure rather than relying on older information.

You would typically fly into Damascus (DAM) or Aleppo (ALP), the country's two main international airports. It is worth checking the latest requirements close to your trip rather than assuming they match what worked even a few months ago.
