Syria has begun granting visas again for US citizens, after a period of difficult travel conditions to the country for Americans. Syria closed to tourists when the COVID pandemic initially struck 2 years ago and gradually reintroduced visas for visitors from certain destinations – including the UK and EU.
However, restrictions remained in place for US citizens, with no visas being issued, until last month. The country has now relaxed its US ruling and it means Americans can now join us on our fixed date group adventure in September to Syria, as well as private trips at any time of the year.
Founder of Untamed Borders, James Willcox, says: “The Syrian news is another welcome development as the final few countries reopen to tourists post-COVID – over the last few months China has joined the reopening list too.
“We're also delighted to be able to run private trips to Turkmenistan and Eritrea again after both countries dropped Covid related tourist restrictions over recent months. All of the destinations Untamed Borders serve are now welcoming tourists again, with North Korea the only nation still refusing tourists internationally.”
The Syrian visa process involves a pre-authorisation stage, which Untamed Borders can help facilitate before your trip - the hard copy of the visa can then be picked up on arrival at the Syrian border.
