or holding documents from those countries to Jordan is driven by
humanitarian and economic objectives.

According to the source, Syrians residing in Europe who wish
to enter Jordan must submit a request through the
Ministry of Interior's
electronic services website, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
Over 41,000 Syrians granted entry approval
Data from the Ministry of Interior reveals that
approximately 41,782 Syrians have been granted entry approval to Jordan through
tourist groups since October 2021 up until the present date.
Since September 13, 2022, around 4,345 Syrians who reside in
Europe and hold European documents have entered Jordan.
The ministry source emphasized that the facilitations
provided to Syrians by the
Ministry of Interior serve Jordan's interests in
multiple aspects, particularly the economic implications related to promoting
tourism.
Meeting families in Syria and third countries
The decision to allow entry for Syrians residing in European
countries aims to enable them, many of whom are refugees, to meet their
families in Syria.
Additionally, the facilitations provided allow
Syrians to meet their families in a third country. The objective is to address their
humanitarian situation, rather than for the purpose of family reunification.
Regulated entry process
To ensure the orderly entry of Syrians according to the
mechanism, the source explained that Syrians coming from
Syria to Jordan must
go through approved Jordanian tourism offices. This process helps monitor their
departure from the Kingdom after the specified visit period.
The source emphasized that the
Ministry of Interior's
procedures successfully serve Jordan's national interest by strengthening both
the economic and humanitarian aspects.
Furthermore, the mechanism aims to prevent any potential
increase in asylum seekers, as there have been no recorded cases of individuals
overstaying the specified visit period for those coming from Syria or European
countries.
The Ministry of Interior had previously announced the
implementation of the mechanism for the entry of Syrians residing in several
foreign countries to Jordan.
