The UK, Canadian and German governments say their citizens need a visa for Syria, Australia says its citizens who don't have Syrian identity documents need one, and Canada says non-Arab nationals can't obtain one at border points of entry. Türkiye's foreign ministry says Turkish citizens are exempt; for Arab passports no official source we could read states the rule. Syria's embassy in Paris says entry-visa applications must be made online at evisa.sy and that it will stop receiving visa applications, and the UK and Australian governments also point to the online application. Italy's foreign ministry says that until the online platform is restored the entry visa can be requested at the border.
