Syria Passport

📖About Syria

For Syria passport holders, international travel still starts with paperwork more often than not. The passport ranks 100th globally in 2026. Middle Eastern passports split sharply between fast-improving Gulf mobility and more restricted conflict-affected documents. The direction has not all been positive: it stood at 80th in 2006. Access has still improved, rising from 16 to 26 destinations. The supporting scores are modest too, at 47 globally and 3 for openness. This passport leans heavily on arrival-based access rather than pure visa-free entry: 18 destinations offer visa on arrival, including Madagascar, Burundi, and Cape Verde Islands. There are also 6 visa-free destinations, such as Cook Islands, Dominica, and Iran. The practical advice is simple: check the visa route early and keep the 6-month validity buffer in mind before booking. Rules change, so travellers should still confirm the final entry requirement with the relevant embassy or government site before travel.
