Iraq entry questions
Do Ethiopian citizens need a visa for Iraq?
For tourism in Iraq, ordinary passport holders from Ethiopia need an eVisa before travel.
What if I’m going to work, study or stay longer?
This guide is for a short tourist visit on an ordinary passport. It does not establish eligibility for employment, study or residence. Use the destination’s official guidance for your actual purpose.
Does my country of residence change the answer?
Passport nationality and legal residence are different. This page starts with your passport. Residence can change where you apply and which application channel is available; an existing visa or residence permit may also create an exception. Check the official eligibility guidance for your circumstances.
Official visa and entry guidance
Confirm Iraq’s requirements directly with government authorities.
Check Iraq’s visa requirements by passport
The Iraqi Ministry of Interior portal lets you select your citizenship and passport type to check the current visa route and application instructions.
Check the Kurdistan Region visa portal
Use this separate regional system only if your itinerary is within the Kurdistan Region; a regional visa does not cover federal Iraq.
Who this guide covers
