The German Foreign Office has warned against travel to Syria, confirming that its embassy in Damascus remains closed to the public, according to travel and security guidelines published on its official website and updated on Thursday.
The ministry clarified that the German embassy in Beirut will continue to provide emergency assistance and other consular services, noting that the capacity to offer consular assistance to German citizens within Syria remains extremely limited.
Germany had reopened its embassy in Damascus in March 2025, a move that marked the resumption of its diplomatic presence in Syria following the fall of the regime of ousted President Bashar al-Assad.
