What about visas?


By syriaadmin - Posted on 03 July 2008

You will need to apply for a visa before departing for Syria. Visas are typically granted for three months. We will send out official letters of invitation to all participants which can be included with a visa request. We will also guide you through the visa process once you have been formally accepted into the program.
