Visa

Most visitors from most countries require a visa to enter Iraq. You will be deported if you attempt to enter the country without a valid entry or work visa. A visa costs around $ 80 and can be purchased at border crossing points. Individual visitors usually take 1 hour to cross the border. Assume a visitor requires a visa to enter the country. In that case, they must plan ahead for a lengthy wait and bring several documents to the Iraqi embassy proving their identity and the reason for their visit. Accepted letters on company or government letterhead are the most common. Baghdad officials are reviewing the applications. You may be denied entry even if you obtain a visa. You should start preparing as soon as possible and ensure that you have all of the required documents.

It is worth noting that there are two types of Iraq visas: one for Federal Iraq and another for Iraq Kurdistan. You can enter Iraqi Kurdistan with a Federal Iraq visa, but not the Federal (south/Arab) Iraq with an Iraqi Kurdistan visa.
