United States Imposes Full Entry Suspension on Syrian Nationals Effective January 1, 2026

The new U.S. Proclamation places Syria under a full suspension of entry, meaning Syrian nationals are barred from receiving new immigrant or non-immigrant visas and from entering the United States as of January 1, 2026, unless a specific exception applies. The administration justifies the restriction by citing Syria’s continued lack of a reliable central authority for issuing passports and civil documents, inadequate screening and vetting capacity, and ongoing security instability. The measure does not automatically revoke existing visas and includes exceptions for lawful permanent residents, dual nationals traveling on non-Syrian passports, diplomats, refugees and asylees, and individuals granted case-by-case waivers in the U.S. national interest—but for Syrians outside the U.S. without a valid visa on the effective date, entry is effectively blocked.

الولايات المتحدة تفرض تعليقًا كاملًا لدخول السوريين اعتبارًا من 1 كانون الثاني 2026

أصدر الرئيس الأميركي إعلانًا رئاسيًا يفرض تعليقًا كاملًا لدخول المواطنين السوريين إلى الولايات المتحدة، سواء بصفة مهاجرين أو غير مهاجرين، ويشمل ذلك تأشيرات السياحة والدراسة والعمل والزيارات، وذلك اعتبارًا من هذا التاريخ. ويبرّر الإعلان هذا القرار بما يعتبره استمرار غياب سلطة مركزية موثوقة في سوريا لإصدار جوازات السفر والوثائق المدنية، وضعف قدرات التدقيق الأمني والتحقق من الهوية، إلى جانب الأوضاع الأمنية غير المستقرة. ولا يؤدي القرار إلى إلغاء التأشيرات السارية تلقائيًا، كما يستثني المقيمين الدائمين في الولايات المتحدة، وحاملي الجنسيات المزدوجة المسافرين بجوازات غير سورية، والدبلوماسيين، واللاجئين والحاصلين على حق اللجوء، إضافة إلى الحالات التي تُمنح إعفاءات فردية لأسباب تتعلق بالمصلحة الوطنية الأميركية، إلا أن السوريين الموجودين خارج الولايات المتحدة من دون تأشيرة سارية عند بدء سريان القرار سيُمنعون فعليًا من الدخول.

The Trump administration will terminate deportation protections for thousands of migrants from Syria, homeland security officials said on Friday.

About 6,000 Syrians are authorized to live and work in the United States through the program, known as Temporary Protected Status, which is meant to help migrants who cannot return to their countries because of unsafe conditions. About 1,000 more Syrians also had pending applications to join the program as of August, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

A homeland security official said it was “contrary to our national interest to allow Syrians to remain in our country” through the temporary program.
