Tourist Visa from Kenya to Syria

Tourist Visa from Kenya to Syria Description

  • The Syrian tourist visa is for Kenyans intending to visit Syria for tourism or leisure.
  • The visa is divided into two types:
    • Single-entry visa - valid for three months.
    • Multiple-entry visa - valid for six months.
  • The multiple entry visa can be extended to up to one year.
  • Tourists must register with the Syrian immigration authorities by the 15th day of their entry into the country.
  • Syria charges a departure tax for all visitors except those on diplomatic passports and children under the age of 11. You are advised to check with your airline to confirm if this tax has been included in your flight fare.
  • Permission of residency is spontaneously granted to foreigners born in Syria.
  • If you are self-employed, please include a copy of your business license, income tax return, and the company bank statement from the latest six months.
  • Tourists coming to Syria should have enough money to comfortably spend at least 25 USD daily for their entire duration in the country.
