Syrian Arab Republic

Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic signed a memorandum of understanding on a mutual exemption of entry visas for holders of diplomatic, service, private and official passports.

Law No. 2 concerns the entry, exit and foreign residents in Syria and allows the Department of Migration and Passports to deport foreigners without residence permits and provides for the prosecution of those involved in people smuggling. It was amended with presidential decree No. 30 of 2016, increasing residency permit fees.
