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.
