Who this applies to, and exceptions
What can change this answer
Holding another visa or a residence permit, your age or your port of entry can open a different route.
These routes are conditional. Every stated requirement must be met; selecting a document does not confirm eligibility.
- Conditional · eVisa (apply online)
A Kurdistan Region permission alone does not permit entry at Baghdad, Basra or Najaf. Hold the permission required for federal Iraq.
- Specified ports: BGW · BSR · NJF
- Conditional · Visa on arrivalFree
Documented Iraqi origin may qualify for a free arrival visa. Carry original Iraqi nationality or birth evidence matching the foreign passport; birthplace alone is insufficient.

Iraqi Embassy in Yerevan · - Conditional · Embassy visa needed
Marriage to an Iraqi national alone does not replace the visa. Apply at an Iraqi mission in the country of legal residence with the marriage and nationality documents.
- Conditional · eVisa (apply online)
The direct electronic application lists the specified ordinary-passport nationalities. Eligibility to apply does not itself authorise travel.
Get the approved visa and check its validity.
Where the sources differ
Sources describe different entry-validity windows for electronic and tourist permissions. Check the entry deadline on the issued document.
This classifies the recorded evidence; it does not announce a rule change. The disagreement remains unresolved and the displayed conservative rule is retained.
