Syria has issued in July 2002 a
new regulation easing the visa issue for tourists
entering Syria, from one person and over, for a tour
arranged by a travel agency in their country and organised by a licensed Syrian travel agent. Visas
are issued upon arrival for almost all nationalities
(restriction is for some Asian and African countries) free of
charge. Please refer to us for more information. Tourist visas are delivered at
any Syrian border. A detailed Passport Manifest
should include the following information: First and
family name, father's first name, date and place of
birth, passport number, passport expiry date,
profession, nationality.  Travellers entering Syria with a
passport Manifest should arrive and depart together.
If one or more persons plan to quit Syria on a
different date or from a different border than the
rest of the group, a separated Passport Manifest
should be issued. The passport list, drawn up on
agency's papers with header, should be faxed or
e-mailed to Syritour before arrival. Five original
copies of the passport list should be brought with
the "group". All copies should be stamped and
signed. Passports should be valid for minimum 6
months after departure date. Passports should not
bear any Israeli stamp. For visa formalities, the presence of Syritour's guide (paid service) both on arrival and departure is mandatory. |
