U.S. Ends Syria TPS: Protections Vanish for Thousands by November
Published Date: 9/22/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for people from Syria starting November 21, 2025. This means Syrians with TPS will lose their special protection and work permission after that date. The change happens because the government says Syria no longer meets the reasons for TPS, and the designation officially ends on September 30, 2025.

TPS for Syria Ends; Work Permission Lost
If you are a national of Syria (or a person without nationality who last habitually resided in Syria) and were granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS), you will lose TPS and the associated work authorization after November 21, 2025. The designation of Syria is set to expire on September 30, 2025, and the Secretary of Homeland Security terminated the TPS designation effective November 21, 2025.
