Syria Visa and Passport Requirements for Dallas Travelers
U.S. citizens need both a passport and a visa to enter Syria. Current rules indicate that tourist visas may be issued on arrival at Damascus International Airport or at certain land crossings from Lebanon or Jordan, while other visa categories generally need to be obtained before travel. Syria remains under a serious U.S. travel warning, so visa eligibility should not be confused with a recommendation to travel.
AA Passport & Visa Expedite Services can help Dallas and Richardson travelers with the U.S. passport needed for a Syria visa process. If your passport is expired, damaged, or needs replacement, our team can help you review available passport services. Visa issuance and travel conditions are controlled by Syrian authorities and can change. For passport assistance only, call 972-231-1600.
NOTE: Effective March 18, 2014, the Embassy of Syria’s visa or consular section is closed for business.
