Do I need a visa for Iraq from Turkey?
Electronic authorization required
Travelling to Iraq on a Turkey passport, you need an e-visa, applied for online before you travel.

| Permitted stay once admitted | Not specified |
Iraq's e-visa system replaced the old embassy-visit route for most nationalities. 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.
Keep the emailed confirmation accessible since it gets checked at the arrival counter. Submit it ahead of your trip since it is not something you can arrange at the border.
