Do not guess or prescribe an unverified field value without seeing the official form instruction. Enter your truthful status into the designated space on the form according to the on-screen prompts. If the application provides a menu, select the option that describes your situation accurately, such as retired or unemployed. If the portal requires typed text, state your current situation truthfully and do not enter false employer details or dummy placeholder symbols.
How to complete the occupation field
-
Follow official on-screen form prompts. Government rules require applicants to type requested information into designated fields rather than handwriting them. If the form offers predefined occupation categories, choose the closest accurate match. If the field is a free-text box, follow the specific instructions on the page. Do not invent employer names or placeholder characters without official guidance.
-
Contact official support if you need clarification. If the online form rejects your input or does not provide a category that fits your status, do not guess a field value. Contact the Directorate of Residency Affairs by telephone at +964 772 111 1434 or consult the consular section of the nearest Iraqi embassy before you submit your application.
