Official wording

العربي.. كل من يحمل جنسية دولة عربية. الأجنبي.. كل من لا يحمل الجنسية العربية السورية أو جنسية دولة عربية.

Aevamo’s reading

Law No. 2 of 2014 Article 2 creates the obligation that every person entering Syria must hold a passport bearing a Syrian-issued entry visa, and Article 7 authorises the Interior Minister to exempt anyone; Decision No. 128 of 2025 exercises that authority by fixing the visa fees and the fee-exempt nationalities.

Law 2/2014 defines its own scope: an 'Arab' is a holder of an Arab nationality and a 'foreigner' is anyone not holding Syrian Arab nationality, so a Syrian citizen holding a Syrian passport is neither class the law regulates; the entry-visa regime does not reach them.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.

Informational planning, not legal or immigration advice. The source is linked so you can check our reading.
