You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet.

Contact OysterHR Support:
No, OysterHR is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.
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 OysterHR directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
