Iraq

Who needs a visa for Iraq?

Of 198 nationalities, 3 enter Iraq with no paperwork at all. The rest: 6 can get a visa at the border, 188 must be approved before they travel and 1 cannot travel there.

We have not found a Iraq government portal we can link to with confidence, so we link to none โ€” a lookalike is worse than nothing. Apply through Iraq's own immigration service or its embassy.

What do you need?

Who needs what

Visa free 3

Nothing to apply for and nothing to pay before you travel.

eVisa (electronic visa) 188

A real visa application, made online instead of at an embassy. It is assessed, it takes days rather than minutes, and it can be refused.

Visa on arrival 6

Issued at the border rather than beforehand. Bring the fee in cash in the currency the border post accepts. It is a permission, not a guarantee.

No admission 1

A government policy, not a paperwork problem. No agent or service can work around it.
