荷兰(Netherlands) 前往 叙利亚(Syria) 签证要求

Dutch (NL) ordinary passport holders need a visa for Syria, but as of 2026 it is issued as a visa on arrival (VOA). EU citizens pay about USD 75 in cash for a single-entry visa valid for a stay of up to 30 days, available at Damascus and Aleppo airports and at the Lebanese and Jordanian land borders. Following the change of government in January 2025, Syria scrapped the old mandatory pre-arranged security clearance and now grants visas on arrival to virtually all nationalities, including Netherlands citizens. Dutch ordinary-passport tourists receive a single-entry visa on arrival for up to 30 days, with a fee of approximately USD 75 (the EU/EFTA tariff band) payable in cash US dollars only. VOA is available at Damascus International Airport (DAM), Aleppo International Airport, and at land crossings from Lebanon and Jordan. The previously announced eVisa platform (evisa.sy) is NOT operational, so there is currently no online application channel. Air travellers should note that some airlines and airports may ask for a prior entry-approval document arranged a few days to a week in advance, so arranging this through a local agent or fixer is strongly recommended before flying in. Syria is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route. Critically, anyone whose passport contains an Israeli visa or entry/exit stamp, or who holds Israeli nationality, will be refused entry. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay, and proof of onward travel is expected. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly advises against all travel to Syria (its highest "do not travel" colour code), the Dutch embassy in Damascus is closed, and consular assistance on the ground is extremely limited.
