Questions and Answers

We are committed to providing more than just services - we offer exceptional experiences.

Typically, a valid passport, a personal photo, a visa application form, a copy of the passport data page, and you may be required to provide travel permits, proof of residence in Syria, an invitation from a Syrian entity, or additional documents based on nationality and type of visit. Some consular sources indicate that the passport must be valid for at least 6 months and contain at least one blank page.

Yes. The presence of Israeli stamps or visas on the passport may lead to denial of entry into Syria, as entry from Israel into Syria is not permitted. It is advisable to check the passport thoroughly before starting any procedures.

The duration varies depending on nationality and type of visa, and the need for additional approvals. Some consular pages indicate a processing time of approximately 7 to 10 working days, but it may take longer if there is an administrative or security review or if there are missing documents.

No travel agency can guarantee a visa decision, as the final decision rests with the official Syrian authorities. What Hala Cham provides is assistance in determining the most suitable route, preparing the necessary information and documents, following the latest available instructions, and coordinating the trip to minimize errors and delays as much as possible. This is the clean route: no return and no “visa by pressing a button” as if we were ordering pizza.

According to the latest available information, there are nationalities that are treated with special facilitation upon entering Syria. Jordan, Malaysia, and Mauritania are among the nationalities exempt from the visa, while Serbia is granted a free visa. Some nationalities may be able to obtain a visa upon arrival at Damascus Airport or Aleppo Airport or some border crossings, according to the prevailing instructions and entry points.

For Lebanese citizens, there are specific conditions for entry, such as having a Syrian residence, or a direct family connection with a Syrian citizen, or valid residence in another country, or approval from the Syrian diplomatic mission. Therefore, it is not advisable to consider Lebanon as part of the general exemption without verifying the traveler's status before the trip.

Some nationalities are advised not to travel to Syria without prior approval or an official invitation. According to the latest available information, citizens of Egypt, Sudan, and Yemen require prior approval or an official invitation issued by a government entity from the public or private sector. Citizens of Iraq generally require prior approval, with exceptions for specific categories such as those residing in Syria or those with direct family ties to a Syrian citizen.

Citizens of Iran and South Korea also need prior approvals or permits before traveling, while entry is prohibited for holders of Israeli nationality or those showing Israeli stamps in their passports.

For this reason, Hala Cham does not rely on a single general rule for all nationalities, but assesses the situation before travel and determines whether the appropriate route is a visa upon arrival, a prior visa, an official invitation, or a special approval.
