Damascus International Airport — DAM

Damascus International Airport (DAM) is a confirmed international air route into Syria. Turkish Airlines advertises Istanbul (IST)–Damascus; AJet advertises Damascus from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) and Ankara (ESB). Check the flight's operating status and the documents required for boarding. US guidance describes possible tourist visas on arrival for US citizens here; that is not a rule for every passport.

Admission depends on citizenship and the permission issued for this entry point. Confirm visa or exemption, any prior approval, passport validity, entry fee and payment method before departure. An open crossing does not guarantee admission. Evidence of travel to Israel may lead to refusal. Consult the visa page for the differing passport requirements and official sources.
