Do I need a visa for Iraq from Saudi Arabia?
No visa required
Travelling to Iraq on a Saudi Arabia passport, you do not need a visa in advance; one is issued on arrival.
Once admitted, the permitted stay in Iraq is 30 days.
| Requirement | Visa on arrival |
|---|---|
| Permitted stay once admitted | 30 days |
Saudi passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Iraqi airports rather than applying online beforehand, and it is issued for a 30 day stay.
This is handled at the arrival counter itself, so there is no separate visa office to find first. It puts Saudi travelers in a different lane from the e-visa process most other nationalities go through, and the counter can be busier at peak travel periods, particularly around religious pilgrimage seasons.
