British Embassy reopens for visitors in Damascus
Syrian nationals will be able to apply for British visas in the normal way from next week.
Even though the British Embassy has been operational in Damascus, it has been closed to visitors for years, because of the security risk.
Anyone wanting to travel to Britain had to apply for a visa through the DHL office.
But now, Britain is opening a new Visa Centre in Mezzeh - it will be Britain's second office in Damascus (the other one is the embassy in Maliki).
The address is Building 13, Ground Floor, Al Jazaieree Street, Mezzeh West Villas, Damascus.
Phone: 612 5270 and 612 5271.
It will be open Sunday to Thursday 9am to 4pm.
