How Emirati citizens enter Syria
Check your passport is valid for the whole trip. Many countries also want it valid for a period beyond your departure date, so confirm the exact rule on the official page below.
Prepare for the border desk in Syria: the visa is issued on arrival, so bring whatever the official page lists, including a means to pay any fee.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.

Questions
What Emirati citizens ask about entering Syria
Yes, but it is issued at the border. Emirati citizens can get a visa on arrival in Syria. This was last checked on 19 April 2026.
Start from the destination government page linked on this page. Yoogo does not process applications and takes no fee for them.
A passport valid for the trip, proof of onward or return travel, and proof of where you are staying. Officers can ask for evidence that you can support yourself for the visit. Entry is always the officer's decision, whatever the paperwork says.
Syria uses SYP. Check the rate before you exchange anything at the airport, where the spread is usually widest.
Safety is a judgement your own government makes, not Yoogo. This page links the official travel advice for your passport; read it before booking, because advice can change faster than entry rules.
