A family member, friend, travel agent, or employer can fill out the form for you on the official portal or prepare consular documents.

Required documents

- Valid passport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of arrival and have at least one blank page.

Paper submissions at consular missions like the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq in Washington, D.C. require two identical physical color photos.
- Electronic payment method. You need a payment card to settle official government fees online.
- Consular travel letters. Consular applications require an official letter or invitation letter stating the visit purpose and duration of stay.
