## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Irish ordinary passports: advance Syrian visitor visa** (Visa required)
  Ireland's current passport-specific advice establishes that Irish citizens are visa-liable, and Syria's current entry rule requires non-exempt visitors to obtain the visa from a diplomatic mission in advance.
  - Ordinary Irish passport and short visitor travel only; an Irish passport card is not valid for the journey.
  - Obtain the entry visa from a Syrian diplomatic mission before travel; the current Syrian rule separately exempts qualifying transit passengers and crew.
  - Security, dual-national treatment, document validity and final admission remain separate from the normalized issuance route.
