If you're passing through Iraq on your way to another destination, understanding the rules around the Iraq Transit Visa is important. This visa allows travelers to enter Iraq briefly while en route to a third country. It is usually required if your layover is long or if you plan to leave the airport, even for a short time.
The transit visa typically allows a stay of up to seven days and is valid for single entry within three months of issuance. To apply, you may need to show a confirmed onward ticket, a valid visa for your final destination (if applicable), a passport with at least six months of validity, and sometimes proof of accommodation or financial means.
However, if your connection keeps you inside the airport’s international transit area and does not require going through immigration, you may not need a visa at all. This depends on your nationality, the length of your stay, and airline policies.
Being prepared with the right documents and understanding the type of transit you’re allowed helps ensure a smooth journey through Iraq without unnecessary delays or confusion.
