FAQs
1.Is a transit visa required if I’m just connecting through Iraq?
If you're staying in the airport transit area and not entering the country, a visa is usually not required. For layovers or overnight stays, you may need a transit visa—check with the airline and airport.
2. Do I need a separate visa to visit the Kurdistan Region?
Yes, visas issued by the Iraqi central government are not valid in the Kurdistan Region and vice versa. If you plan to travel to both, you must secure the appropriate visas.
3. Is it possible to extend the Iraq single entry e-Visa?
Depending on the cause for the extension, Iraqi immigration authorities may be able to grant visa extensions.
