Non-immigrant Visa Services

 General Information

Welcome to the Non-Immigrant Visa Section of the U.S. Embassy in Damascus. This section provides visa services to Syrians and citizens of other countries who reside in Syria and wish to enter the United States temporarily. Such visitors may travel to the United States for business or pleasure and other purposes, including but not limited to students, temporary workers, journalists, and exchange visitors. If your purpose of travel is other than business or pleasure, you will need to apply for a visa in the appropriate category. Click on the left navigation bar for more information on different visa types.

PLEASE PLAN AHEAD!!

Schedule your appointment as soon as possible! Due to the current demand for visa appointments, you may experience a delay. Check here for estimated Visa Wait Times.

Processing Time: We recommended that applicants start the application process at least 3 months in advance of their intended date of travel. Also, many applicants for non-immigrant visas may have to undergo further administrative processing. Our office is not able to determine how much time will be needed to fully process visas. Therefore, the Embassy bears no responsibility for travel arrangements or flight reservations made prior to the receipt of a visa.

Please plan ahead and schedule early!!
