Key points:
Syrian nationals have 60 days to voluntarily depart the United States and return home.
Self deportation encouraged
Aliens leaving the United States are encouraged to use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP Home app to report their departure from the United States and take advantage of a safe, secure way to self-deport that includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and potential future opportunities for legal immigration.
What happens if you do not self deport within 60 days
After the 60 days have expired (18 November 2025), any Syrian nationals admitted under TPS who have not begun their voluntary removal proceedings will be subject to arrest and deportation. Any alien who forces DHS to arrest and remove them will never be allowed to return to the United States.
