Overview

The official Iraq eVisa portal says an eVisa lets a traveller enter Iraq without visiting an embassy or consulate, and the English source text describes a 30-day electronic visa that can be used for single or multiple entries. The same portal tells users to apply through the online eVisa service and says the current application availability is for tourist visas only and through companies licensed by the Iraqi Tourism Authority. Treat this as the first stop for ordinary tourism, then confirm nationality, licensed-company and document requirements inside the official application flow before paying or travelling.

Typical evidence

Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Read the eVisa portal and confirm that the trip is ordinary tourism.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Use the official application portal and prepare passport, photo and accommodation or trip evidence.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Submit the application, pay through the official channel if requested and wait for the eVisa email.

  4. After approval

    Carry the eVisa approval and confirm entry, stay and exit conditions before travel.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Tourist eVisa, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Check whether employment, self-employment, remote work or study is permitted under the status granted. Do not infer unrestricted work rights from the absence of an employer sponsor.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
