  1. Syria

    Summary

    Before
    Most travelers need a Syrian visa arranged before arrival: the UK, Canadian, German and Australian governments all tell their citizens to get one in advance, and Canada says non-Arab nationals cannot obtain one at Syrian border points. Gulf, Jordanian and Lebanese passports are shown as visa-free, but no official source we could read confirms the current rule for them; other Arab nationalities are shown as needing a visa through an embassy. Syria has announced an online eVisa, but its website was not yet taking applications in late September 2026 — confirm how to apply with a Syrian embassy shortly before travel.

    Safety

    Before

    Burglary, armed robbery and violent crime occur in Paramaribo and the surrounding areas; criminals may target people in quiet or secluded places, including the Palm Garden (Palmentuin), and pickpocketing and robbery are increasingly common in the main business and shopping areas. Tourists have been robbed when travelling in central Suriname, away from the coast, so use a well-established tour company there.
