High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026. The team and community volunteers contacted Udemy repeatedly since February 2026, but Udemy declined several times, maintaining that sanctions remain in place even though they have been lifted, and in one case disabled a user's account after they asked about Syrian access. A community petition gathered hundreds of signatures. The block continues.

Outreach email sent to Udemy at policy@udemy.com and legal@udemy.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions under the current post-sanctions legal framework.
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. If you work at Udemy or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
Contact Udemy Support:
No, Udemy 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 Udemy directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
