Iraq Visa

Iraq Visa | Documents Required and Application Process

Getting an Iraq visa is the first essential step for anyone planning to visit Iraq for tourism, business, family visits, or transit. Go Kite Travel offers professional and streamlined Iraq visa services, helping international travelers complete their applications smoothly—no matter where they are applying from. 

An Iraq visa is an official entry permit issued by the Iraqi government that allows foreign nationals to enter, travel within, or stay in Iraq for a defined period and purpose. Whether your visit is for tourism, business, meetings, family visits, or transit travel, a valid visa and an official invitation letter are mandatory. 

Many travelers applying for an Iraq visa require an eVisa issued on the basis of a verified invitation from an Iraqi host or company. 

Anyone who meets the following general eligibility requirements can apply: 

  • A passport valid for at least 6 months 
  • A clean travel history and security clearance (as required) 
  • A legitimate reason to travel to Iraq (tourism or business) 
  • A valid invitation letter from a registered Iraqi company or host 
  • Complete supporting documents as mandated by Iraqi authorities 

These eligibility criteria apply globally, regardless of the applicant’s country of residence. 

Below are the standard requirements for an Iraq eVisa (Invitation Only): 

  • Valid passport copy (minimum 6-month validity) 
  • Passport-size photograph (5.1 cm × 5.1 cm, white background) 
  • Official Invitation Letter from Iraq 
  • Copy of Invitee’s Passport 
  • Invitee’s Nationality Card 
  • Invitee’s Residence Card 

These requirements apply uniformly to all international applicants. 

  • Secure an official invitation from a host or registered Iraqi business 
  • Prepare your passport copy, personal photo, and invitation details 
  • Submit your application through the official eVisa portal or via Go Kite Travel 
  • Wait for processing (7–10 working days)
