On the official Iraqi Electronic Visa Portal, the status Under Review indicates that immigration authorities have received your application and are assessing your details. The portal does not publish a formal definition for this status label, a guaranteed processing deadline, or a fixed decision window. Public travel guides and automated assistants cannot access private government records, confirm your file status, or accelerate visa processing. Do not share your passport number or payment records in public chats.
Use these practical steps while your application is under review:
- Check your email. The Directorate of Residency Affairs sends official status notices, requests for extra documents, and issued visas to your registered email address. Check your spam and junk folders.
- Monitor portal updates. Sign in to your account on the official portal to follow status changes with your application reference number and passport details.
- Check the correct jurisdiction. Federal Iraq uses evisa.iq. The Kurdistan Region uses visit.gov.krd. These two systems operate separately and do not share application records.
- Contact official support. If you have questions about your application, contact the Directorate of Residency Affairs through the portal or by phone at +964 772 111 1434.
As a practical suggestion, save a screenshot of your status screen and keep your payment receipt.
