Important Notes

Syria is a high-risk travel destination. Many countries, including Germany, advise against all travel to Syria due to ongoing conflict, terrorism, and arbitrary detention. Obtaining a visa for Syria, especially for tourism, is extremely difficult and often requires an official invitation or sponsorship. Visa processing times and costs are highly variable and depend on the specific embassy/consulate and the applicant's circumstances. Information can change rapidly. It is crucial to contact the Syrian Embassy in Berlin directly for the most current and accurate requirements and procedures. Be aware that travel to Syria may invalidate travel insurance policies and could lead to difficulties upon return to Germany or when traveling to other countries (e.g., USA).
