What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

The reporter says the site can be used; another screenshot in the same report shows Kimi's signed-in chat workspace on kimi.ai loading normally, with the message box and tools available.

Landing pageWorks

Opening kimi.ai from a Syrian connection loaded the Kimi site normally, with no regional notice.

Sign-upWorks

A community tester in Syria was using their own Kimi account, reached through Google sign-in, from a Syrian connection without a VPN.

Sign-inWorks

From a Syrian connection, the tester was signed in to Kimi with a Google account and could open the account settings.

One-time codes (OTP)Fails

The reporter says Syria is not in the country list when linking a phone number to a Kimi account; the screenshot shows the list going from Switzerland to Tajikistan with no entry for Syria, so no code can be sent to a Syrian number.

PaymentFails

Going to Kimi's Stripe checkout from a Syrian connection showed "Something went wrong" instead of the payment form.

UpgradeFails

Moving to a paid Kimi plan could not be completed from a Syrian connection, because the Stripe checkout it relies on showed "Something went wrong".

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Kimi works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Kimi directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
