Visa on arrival. Ukrainian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Syria, usually at the airport or land border.
Rule updated from Wikipedia's “Visa requirements for Ukrainian citizens” (checked 2026-10-04); the older passport-index dataset (January 2025) listed e-Visa. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Syria or its official government website before you travel.
⚠ U.S. State Department travel advisory for Syria: Level 4: Do Not Travel (updated 11 December 2025). It is written for U.S. citizens; read the advisory before you book.
What this means for your trip
A visa on arrival is issued at the port of entry. Expect a fee, a passport photo and sometimes proof of onward travel and accommodation.
Not every airport or land border issues it, and some nationalities are sent to secondary checks; confirm the entry point before you travel.
Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.
