Do I need a visa for Iraq from Canada?
Electronic authorization required
Travelling to Iraq on a Canada passport, you need an e-visa, applied for online before you travel.
| Requirement | e-Visa |
|---|---|
| Permitted stay once admitted | Not specified |
You will handle this entirely online, through Iraq's e-visa portal. Keep in mind the Kurdistan Region runs its own e-visa system apart from federal Iraq's; landing at Erbil (EBL) rather than Baghdad (BGW) means applying through the regional portal instead.
The confirmation arrives by email, and it is worth having a copy ready for the immigration desk. Plan to apply before you fly rather than on the day of travel.
