Latest info Syria visa at border
Hi, everyone. I have crossed two days ago the Turkey Syria border at Nusaybin (Turkey), the second one crossing point coming from Irak, at the very northeast Syria corner. I tried to get syrian visa at Istambul as I did two years ago, but it is not allowed now for non turkish resident.
Small border but busy and chaotic. I used to leave Turkey one passport and a totally new one to go into Syria because I had been to Israel using the old one (even asking the Israel stamp out of it, the Syrians can realize because the Jordan stamp). But they didn't care about a totally new passport with no turkish exit stamp and I got transit visa with no problem. I costed 28 US$ and 38 more for Motorcycle insurance.
I found there 3 Americans and they got their visas aswell (they had to wait longer than me, maybe because I am Spanish and everybody love here the Spanish football teams).
I stayed at Ziad Hotel in Dayr az Zawar. 30 euros, 45$ or 2000 Syrian pounds. Clean and basic. Breakfast included.
Have fun if you come
