Can Americans travel to Syria?

Syria is on a promising trajectory, recovering from the impacts of its challenging civil war. Reconstruction efforts are in full swing, positioning the country for a resurgence as a leading tourism hub in the Middle East over the next decade. For those wondering about travel possibilities, especially for U.S. citizens, the answer is unequivocally positive—Yes.

Embarking on a journey to Syria requires a crucial pre-requisite: obtaining a government-approved security clearance. This essential clearance is facilitated through Syria tour operators like Syria Scope Travel, who adeptly manage the process on behalf of American travelers. Historically, the likelihood of U.S. citizens securing this clearance, particularly when traveling solo, has hovered below 50%. However, the dynamics shift significantly when Americans opt for our Syria group tours, increasing the approval rate to nearly 100%.
In a positive turn of events post-Covid, the country’s reopening has ushered in a new era. Visas are now being issued to U.S. citizens, providing a smoother path for those eager to explore the rich tapestry of Syria.

How can US citizens get a Syria visa?

Navigating the process of obtaining a Syria visa is surprisingly straightforward. Upon the issuance of your security clearance, we swiftly email it to you. The next step involves a simple printout of the clearance, which you present at the border upon arrival. This facilitates your smooth entry into Syria, with a nominal fee for the visa stamp. The Syrian tourist visa extends a welcoming stay of up to 15 days in the country.
