You may not need this visa at all

From 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2027, nationals of 111 listed countries who hold a residence permit issued by the US, an EU or Schengen state, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Oman, valid for at least six months from entry, can enter without a visa and stay up to 180 days within a one-year period. The permit must be a physical card or a passport sticker; the border authorities may recognise it if it shows, in Latin script, the document title, name, nationality, date of birth and validity dates.

Driving on a Syria license

Syria is party to the 1949 Geneva Convention and Armenia to the 1968 Vienna Convention. They share none, so no treaty obliges Armenia to recognize an International Driving Permit issued in Syria.

Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
