FAQ

Visas for Syria citizens

Visa-free: 6 countries and territories, including Dominica, Iran, Malaysia, Micronesia, Samoa and Seychelles. In 2 more countries, an electronic travel authorisation is enough โ€” it takes a few minutes online.
Where can you stay the longest without a visa?
The longest stays: Iran โ€” 90 days, Malaysia โ€” 90 days, Seychelles โ€” 90 days and Samoa โ€” 60 days.
How accurate is this, and how often is it updated?
The reference is updated weekly and cross-checked against two independent sources; where they disagree, the country is marked โ€œReferences disagreeโ€. Only the destination country can confirm its rules โ€” check its official website or embassy before you travel.
