Poland in Syria

For the first time in many years, an official business delegation from Syria has visited Poland on 6th - 10th of October - the visit was headed by Mr Ayman Maoulawi, president of the Chamber of Industry of Damascus and Damascus Countryside.

The Entry/Exit System (EES) is Europe's new border management system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders of 29 European countries.

The devastating earthquake, which hit Syria in February, had caused thousands of victims and significant material losses. More than 8 million Syrians have been affected by its immediate aftermath. Poland responds to the calls for help.

Because of the persistent COVID-19 pandemic in Syria and in response to the appeal of the World Health Organization (WHO) Office in Damascus, Poland donated medical equipment (i.e. oxygen cylinders, respirators and medical beds) and medicines to fight COVID-19 to be used by the Syrian health service.

The Polish Government warns against dishonest "travel agencies" and organized groups of human traffickers – the use of their services may lead to the loss of all financial means. Illegal attempts of European Union border crossing are a risk of incarceration and severe fines, compulsory deportation and the prohibition of entry to Poland and the territory of the entire Schengen zone.
