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

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.
