The U.S. Embassy in Syria has advised American citizens to depart to Jordan if they are able to do so.
In a warning posted on the U.S. State Department website , the embassy stated that as of July 20, 2025, humanitarian corridors have been opened from the As-Suwayda region to border crossings and to Damascus.

The travel advisory for Syria remains at Level 4 – “Do Not Travel” – due to the risks of armed conflict and violence.
The embassy reiterated the State Department’s earlier guidance: If you are able to leave Syria on your own, please do so.
The statement added that U.S. citizens can cross the land border from Syria into Jordan, where visas are granted upon arrival.
There have been no updates regarding border crossing points, and the currently operational crossings remain the only ones open for entry into Jordan. Airports in Damascus and Aleppo also remain open and are operating regular flights.
In cases where departure from Syria is not possible, the advisory remains to shelter in place.
The embassy noted that U.S. Embassy operations in Damascus have been suspended since 2012, and that the U.S. government is unable to provide routine or emergency consular services in Syria. The Czech Republic serves as the protecting power for U.S. interests in Syria, but the consular services it provides to American citizens are extremely limited.
The embassy published emergency contact numbers and an email for inquiries, and emphasized the following recommended measures:
Develop a departure plan that does not rely on the U.S. government.
Be prepared to shelter in place if the security situation worsens.
Ensure all family members have valid travel documents.
Remain vigilant and follow news for updates that may affect internal security; incorporate new information into travel and movement plans.
Create and regularly review a personal security plan.
Keep mobile phones charged in case of emergency.
Prepare an emergency plan and review the State Department’s “Traveler’s Checklist.”
