The UK government says visit visas are no longer issued on arrival in Iraq, and the UK, Canadian and Australian governments say their citizens need a visa before they travel, from Iraq's e-Visa portal or, Canada adds, an Iraqi embassy or consulate. The UK FCDO gives the e-Visa fee as USD 160 and its validity as 60 days; Iraq's portal says it is valid for 30 days. The Kurdistan Region has its own e-visa process, and the UK says those visas are valid for travel in the Kurdistan Region only. Iraq's Foreigner Residence Law No. 76 of 2017 requires a foreigner entering Iraq to hold a valid entry visa marked in the passport and says Iraq's representative offices abroad issue entry visas; it does not apply to persons exempted under international agreements to which Iraq is a party.
- Passport validity
- At least 6 months of remaining validity are required (basis not specified in structured data).
- Return or onward ticket
- The UK government tells British travellers, who must apply for an Iraqi e-visa, to have a return ticket or a ticket out of Iraq to a third destination in place: without one there is a risk of the airline refusing boarding. No Iraqi official source we could find states the rule.
