Documentation Requirements 
  • The Embassy of the Syrian Arab Republic in London closed on 10th August 2012 due to the ongoing troubles in Syria.

Occasionally, embassy' rules and regulations change overnight. The A-ICC bears no responsibility for any such changes therefore any price changes will be passed directly to customers. We regret that we cannot under any circumstances, intercede with or take responsibility for transactions initiated directly between an exporter and an embassy.
