Good news for Americans who want to visit Syria!
As of now, American citizens can apply for a tourist visa for Syria again. This news has been confirmed by our local partner in Syria. This is great news for anyone who has been wanting to visit this beautiful and historic country. In the recent years Americans were not able to acquire a Syrian tourist visa, but recently this has been changed. Anybody from the United States (U.S.A.) can now apply for a Syrian tourist visa.
How to get a Syrian tourist visa for Americans
In order to get a visa, everybody with a United States-passport will have to do the following:
1. Submit your passport for a ID-check / security clearance.
2. If accepted, you can book a tour and join our group and/or private tours to Syria.
3. You’ll receive the visa at the border (Visa on Arrival / VOA), so you won’t have to go to any embassy.
Note:
– The process takes around 3 to 4 weeks.
– If you are (somehow) not accepted, you won’t have to pay anything.
– Journalists and people involved into politics are currently not eligible for a visa to Syria.
