The 60-second version
Syria exit needs employer tax certificate and GCTC compliance letter. I export social insurance statements, close SYP/USD account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for NGO and reconstruction payroll.
GCTC clearance before closing Damascus payroll account
Syria taxes residents on employment income — obtain salary tax reconciliation and tax ID clearance from GCTC before departure.
Humanitarian NGO and reconstruction payroll common in Damascus — retain employer settlement in Arabic and English.
