To apply for an Iraq tourist eVisa for Federal Iraq, submit your application online through the official Iraqi Electronic Visa Portal. This service is run by the Ministry of Interior Directorate of Civil Status, Passports and Residency, Directorate of Residency Affairs, and diplomatic missions such as the Iraqi Embassy in London direct foreign passport holders to it.
Follow these steps to complete your application:
-
Visit the official portal. Access the government portal at evisa.iq. Do not use unauthorized third party intermediary websites that charge extra processing fees. If you plan to visit only the Kurdistan Region, apply through the separate regional portal at visit.gov.krd instead, as noted by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
-
Prepare required documents. You must upload a clear copy of your valid passport and a digital personal photograph taken against a plain white background. You also need an electronic payment card to pay the government fee online.
-
Gather helpful supporting documents. Keep a confirmed return flight ticket or proof of onward travel, because airlines can deny boarding without it. Have your hotel booking address or local host details ready. Follow the exact prompts on your screen and do not guess unverified values for optional fields.
-
Submit the form and pay online. Review your personal and passport information carefully before paying through the portal's secure payment system.
-
Print the approved visa. The portal sends approved visas by email. Print a paper copy to show airline staff and border control officers when you arrive. Official authorities do not publish a guaranteed processing timeline, so submit your application well before departure.
As a practical tip, save a screenshot of your payment receipt and application reference number for your records.
