Iraq has introduced new changes to its visa policy from March 1, 2025, abolishing the visa on arrival for EU and non-EU citizens
Iraq has announced significant changes in its visa policy, which came into effect on March 1, 2025. The country's Ministry of Interior has decided to cancel visa on arrival for citizens of the European Union and several other countries. Now travelers need to apply for an electronic visa in advance to enter Iraq through the official platform.
One of the main benefits of the change in visa policy is the acceleration of customs procedures. Pre-approved visas will greatly simplify the entry process, this will reduce waiting times at immigration checkpoints. In addition, reducing the number of visa applications on the spot will reduce congestion at airports, creating a more comfortable environment for all travelers.
These changes also improve immigration enforcement. The introduction of visa pre-clearance demonstrates Iraq's commitment to creating a safe and comfortable environment for travelers from around the world.
When planning a trip to Iraq, travelers should consider several important requirements. One of them is health insurance, which must be obtained through the National Electronic Insurance Platform. This is an important step to protect the health of visitors while in the country.
