Do I need a visa for Syria from United States?
Electronic authorization required
Travelling to Syria on a United States 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.
Beyond the airports at Damascus (DAM) and Aleppo (ALP), overland entry from Lebanon or Jordan is also common. Treat any online guide, including this one, as a starting point rather than the final word given how recently things have changed.
