Do I need a visa for Iraq from Australia?
Electronic authorization required
Travelling to Iraq on a Australia passport, you need an e-visa, applied for online before you travel.
| Requirement | e-Visa |
|---|---|
| Permitted stay once admitted | Not specified |
The e-visa route runs through evisa.iq, and that is the only step most travelers need. Which airport you land at matters here: Baghdad (BGW) and Basra (BSR) fall under the federal e-visa, while Erbil (EBL) in the Kurdistan Region has its own separate system.
The confirmation arrives by email, and it is worth having a copy ready for the immigration desk. Submit it ahead of your trip since it is not something you can arrange at the border.
