Do I need a visa for Iraq from Germany?
Electronic authorization required
Travelling to Iraq on a Germany passport, you need an e-visa, applied for online before you travel.
| Requirement | e-Visa |
|---|---|
| Permitted stay once admitted | Not specified |
Iraq's e-visa is handled entirely online through evisa.iq, with no embassy visit required. Note that the Kurdistan Region issues its own e-visa independent of Baghdad's; that matters if Erbil (EBL) is your entry point rather than Baghdad (BGW).
Keep the emailed confirmation accessible since it gets checked at the arrival counter. It is worth submitting the application a few days ahead rather than right before departure.
