Ask the airline why it will not accept your visa and request a supervisor's review of your documents and itinerary. Ask the airline to check the applicable travel-document information, including Timatic if it uses it. IATA describes Timatic as a source of international travel document requirements used by airlines.
Show your passport and visa. For a federal Iraqi eVisa, the Iraqi Ministry of Interior portal says to print the visa received by email and show it at border control. Ask the issuing authority or an Iraqi embassy to clarify any mismatch or disputed eligibility. Check the visa's validity, permitted stay and number of entries for your trip.
Give the airline your citizenship, passport or travel document type, purpose, full route and entry point. Ask whether your visa is accepted for federal Iraq or the Kurdistan Region, as applicable. For a connection, ask whether you stay airside or pass immigration into the landside area, and which documents the airline checks for each flight. If considering another route or crossing, verify with the relevant authorities and airline that it is open and permitted for your documents. We cannot confirm a particular route or visa without those details.
If the issue remains unresolved, ask the airline about your booking options before departure. A visa does not guarantee boarding or admission.
