Syria
Information for citizens of Europe, the Americas, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa
If you are travelling into Syria on any group tour, on the go are able to arrange a Group Syrian Visa in advance to your arrival at the border/airport at a nominal cost (USD$10) paid locally. The regulations governing this visa type are very strict and passengers must be vigilant in providing all necessary and factually correct information to on the go 1 MONTH PRIOR TO DEPARTURE.
Please be sure to provide on the go with the following:
• Group Visa Declaration form - available here & sent upon reservation.
• Scan/ photocopy of your passport (personal details page)
IMPORTANT: Please be advised that if you have any Israeli stamps in your passport, having arrived internationally into Tel Aviv or Eilat or through land borders with Egypt or Jordan (for example across the Allenby Bridge from Israel into Jordan), you’ll be denied entry into Syria. Please arrange a new passport in advance of sending any documentation to us.
A departure tax of 1500SYL (USD$32) is levied upon all passengers departing via Damascus airport. If departing Syria via a land border (such as returning to Jordan) a departure tax of 500SYL (USD$10) will need to be paid at the exit point and a new Jordanian tourist visa will need to be purchased upon arrival to Jordan currently 10JD (USD$15).

Israel
For those undertaking our 'Road to Jerusalem' or ‘Jerusalem & Beyond’ bolt-on.
British, South African, Australian, New Zealand, USA and Canadian citizens do not require a visa to enter Israel.
For all other nationalities please consult Israeli embassy website:
http://israel.embassyhomepage.com
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not want your passport stamped by Israeli Immigration, it is often possible for a visa card to be stamped instead. Most Middle Eastern countries do not take issue with passports containing Israeli stamps i.e. Egypt, Jordan, United Arab Emirates or Turkey. A few do. Syria and Lebanon will refuse bearers of passports containing Israeli stamps. Should you wish for your passport NOT to contain evidence of having travelled to Israel, have your Jordanian exit and re-entry stamps, stamped upon a seperate piece of paper, which Jordanian officials are willing to do. Then upon entering/departing Israel politely specify, 'NO STAMP PLEASE' and request a visa card.
The border crossing is at the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge where you will have to pay a Jordanian exit tax of approx USD$8 per person. A private transfer will pick you up from your hotel in Amman or Madaba and take you to the border crossing but you must cross over the border in a public shuttle bus which costs approx USD$3. An Israeli driver will be there to meet you on the other side of the border, for a private transfer to your hotel in Jerusalem.
Upon exiting Israel and returning to Jordan you will need to pay an Israeli exit tax, approximately $USD35 per person. You will not have to purchase another Jordanian entry visa upon arrival as your original tourist visa is still valid.
Please be advised visa requirements are subject to change. Visa procurement is the responsibility of the traveller and not of on the go.
