Siria: cosa sapere prima di partire
L’essenziale
- FCDO advises against all travel; conflict, kidnapping and unexploded weapons remain major risks.
- Obtain the correct visa before travel; border rules and routes can change.
- Cash, water, electricity and communications can be difficult to obtain.
Ingresso e visti
British citizens need a visa before travel and can apply through the Syrian eVisa portal. FCDO reports typical processing of five to seven days, but timing varies. Israeli and Iranian citizens cannot enter according to current FCDO advice; evidence of travel to Israel may also cause refusal. Other passport groups must check with the Syrian authorities.
