What Türkiye asks of Syrian travellers

Visa required, no e-Visa. Holders of ordinary Syrian passports need a visa issued in advance by a Turkish mission. The Türkiye e-Visa is not available for Syrian passports.
Where to apply in Syria: the Embassy in Damascus and the Consulate General in Aleppo accept applications only through their authorised centre, Visa For The Globe (offices in Damascus and Aleppo, online appointment). The centre lists business, meeting, study, medical, family reunion and transit visas.
Land or air: according to the Embassy in Damascus (August 2026), a valid Turkish visa can be used at land border crossings as well as at airports.
Health insurance: under Law No. 6458, a visa is not issued to a foreigner without valid health insurance covering the stay, and such a traveller can be refused entry at the border.

Frequently asked questions

Do Syrian citizens need insurance for a Türkiye visa?

Law No. 6458 lists missing health insurance covering the stay among the reasons for refusing a visa or entry to Türkiye. Private hospital treatment in Türkiye is also paid out of pocket without insurance. Buy a policy that covers every day from your arrival to your departure.

Can Syrians get a Türkiye e-Visa?

No. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists Syrian ordinary and official passports as visa-required with no e-Visa option. Apply through Visa For The Globe in Damascus or Aleppo. Our policy covers you inside Türkiye for the dates you choose, whichever visa you travel on.

Does the policy cover repatriation to Syria?

No. The insurer, GIG Sigorta, excludes medical evacuation and repatriation to Syria. Medical treatment in Türkiye after an illness or accident is covered up to USD 35,000. Please plan your return travel with this exclusion in mind.

How much does it cost?

Türkiye tourist insurance starts from EUR 9.90 for one week and EUR 19.90 for one month per person. Your exact price appears online as soon as you enter your age and dates.

Does the policy cover me outside Türkiye?

No. The cover is valid only inside Türkiye, from 00:00 Türkiye time on your start date until the end date on the policy.

If my visa is refused, do I get a refund?

No. Once a policy is issued it cannot be cancelled or refunded, even if cover has not started. Buy it when your appointment and travel dates are confirmed, and check your name, passport number and dates before paying.
