Do I need a visa for Iraq from Kenya?

Electronic authorization required

Travelling to Iraq on a Kenya passport, you need an e-visa, applied for online before you travel.

The e-visa is issued through evisa.iq, and there is no in-person step beforehand. 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. Apply with enough lead time before your flight rather than counting on a same-day approval.
