Licensing International NGOs in Syria: Updated Requirements and Procedures

At ZD General Consultation, through our Damascus office and specialized local team, we facilitate and guide international NGOs through the registration and licensing process in Syria—ensuring full compliance with national laws and official regulations.

Recently, we’ve been closely monitoring developments around the new regulatory framework issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates. This framework introduces updated requirements and documentation for licensing international NGOs and outlines a transparent, structured process to ensure legal alignment with Syrian regulations.

This initiative reflects the government’s focus on supporting humanitarian and development efforts by simplifying procedures while upholding high standards of transparency and professionalism.

With our on-the-ground presence in Damascus, ZD General Consultation provides end-to-end professional support—from preparing all necessary documentation to following up with regulatory authorities—ensuring a smooth and efficient licensing journey.

This service is part of our broader mission to support humanitarian initiatives and foster sustainable development aligned with Syria’s national priorities.
