Israel to Syria visa requirements
Israeli passport holders cannot travel to Syria. Syria does not recognise the State of Israel, has no diplomatic relations with it, and explicitly bans Israeli nationals from entry and transit. There is no tourist visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival channel available to Israeli citizens. Travel from Israel to Syria is not possible on an Israeli passport. Syria treats Israel as an enemy state, refuses to recognise it, and bars all Israeli nationals from entry and transit, even when remaining airside. Syrian rules go further: entry is denied to ANY traveller whose passport shows an Israeli visa or entry/exit stamp, an Egyptian or Jordanian land-border stamp from a crossing bordering Israel, or any evidence of a prior visit to or connection with Israel. There is no direct travel link between the two countries, no Syrian diplomatic mission in Israel, and the Israeli government prohibits its citizens from visiting Syria (an enemy state under Israeli law). Following the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, the transitional Syrian government reaffirmed in early 2025 that Israeli citizens remain banned. The whole of Syria is also under a U.S. Department of State Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory and comparable warnings from other governments due to armed conflict, terrorism, and the risk of kidnapping and wrongful detention. The verdict is recorded as 'visa-required' only because the schema has no 'banned/no-admission' option; in practice entry is categorically prohibited and no visa will be issued to an Israeli passport holder.
