Investing in Syria

Visas & passports

General guidance on business visits, invitation letters and taking part in exhibitions.

The requirements for entering the Syrian Arab Republic vary with the visitor's nationality and the purpose and length of the visit, and are governed by instructions issued by the competent official authorities, which may change. Visitors are therefore always advised to consult the accredited Syrian diplomatic mission in their country of residence for current information before travelling.

Business visits

The chambers of commerce and industry issue invitation letters for business visits and for taking part in exhibitions, at the request of the host business that is a member of the chamber. To obtain an invitation letter, contact the chamber of the governorate to which the host business belongs.

Taking part in exhibitions

Those wishing to visit exhibitions held in Syria can consult the exhibition calendar for their dates and organisers, and coordinate participation arrangements directly with the organisers.
