What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least six (6) months beyond the intended period of stay.
  • Visa Application Form: Completed online through the official e-Visa portal.

  • Accommodation and Return Ticket: Proof of booked accommodation (hotel reservation or invitation letter if staying with someone) and a confirmed return air ticket are typically required.
  • Photograph: A recent passport-sized photograph meeting specific requirements (usually 3.5 x 4.5 cm, white background, neutral expression) will need to be uploaded during the online application.
  • Biometrics: Biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) may be collected upon arrival at designated ports of entry or at the time of visa sticker issuance if applying through an embassy.
  • Travel Health Insurance: While not always explicitly mandatory for the e-Visa application, comprehensive travel health insurance covering medical emergencies and repatriation is highly recommended for all travelers to Iraq.

Tips for Angola travelers

  • Application Timing: Apply for your e-Visa at least 2-3 weeks before your intended travel date to allow for any unforeseen delays.
  • Common Rejection Reasons: Incomplete or inaccurate application forms, insufficient financial evidence, lack of clear travel purpose, invalid passport, or previous visa denials are common reasons for rejection. Ensure all uploaded documents are clear and legible.
  • e-Visa vs. Embassy Application: For short-term tourist or business stays, the e-Visa is the most convenient and recommended method. For longer stays or specific visa types not covered by the e-Visa system, you will need to apply directly through an Iraqi Embassy or Consulate. Check the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iraq website for embassy locations: https://www.mofa.gov.iq/
  • Travel Advisories: Always check the latest travel advisories from your government regarding travel to Iraq. The security situation in certain regions can change rapidly. Be aware of specific entry requirements for different regions within Iraq if applicable.
  • Extension Options: Visa extensions in Iraq are generally difficult to obtain and are typically granted only in exceptional circumstances (e.g., medical emergencies). It is best to apply for a visa that covers your entire intended stay. If an extension is absolutely necessary, you would need to apply through the relevant Iraqi authorities within Iraq, which can be a complex and time-consuming process.
