Syria

Investing in Syria comes with notable challenges for individuals seeking to reside or obtain citizenship in the country. The presence of political difficulties, pervasive corruption, and an unstable economy diminish the prospects for foreign investors, offering limited opportunities in Syria’s challenging landscape.

SYRIA RESIDENCY & CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT

Syria does not offer any formal residency or citizenship by investment programme. Due to the country’s political challenges, many Syrian nationals explore citizenship solutions in more stable nations for a secure future. Several secure countries offer investor visa programmes including Turkey.

SYRIA PASSPORT STRENGTH AND RANKING

The Syrian passport ranks poorly at 196th on La Vida’s Global Passport Ranking, granting visa-free access to only 43 countries, representing a mere 2.7% of global wealth and 6.6% of worldwide travel. This limited passport power restricts global mobility significantly, with Syrian passport holders often needing visas for most destinations. Security concerns, political instability, and past conflicts further hinder free travel. In contrast, Caribbean nations offering citizenship by investment (CBI) programmes, like Dominica, boast stronger passports. Dominica’s passport ranks 65th, offering better global travel freedom, making it a preferable citizenship solution for high-net-worth individuals.
