General Information
Visa
Iraq has an U visa-on-arrival scheme for citizens of the EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Russia, China, Japan, and South Korea. If you are a citizen of a country other than these, then we will apply for a visa on your behalf. An invitation letter will be issued which you can use at your local embassy to apply for the visa.
Passport
You will need your passport at all Iraqi checkpoints and hotels. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months by your arrival date, and that it has at least one empty page for the Iraqi visa sticker, otherwise you might have some issues at the border.
Airport
Baghdad International Airport
Baghdad International Airport is located 16 kilometers away from downtown Baghdad. It is the country’s largest air base and the home of the national airline Iraqi Airways. Connections are available to destinations worldwide.
Our transfer has been pre-arranged within the package.
Want to join?
Send an e-mail to info@visitiraq.co letting us know briefly why you want to visit Iraq, and then we will let you know if a spot is yours or not. Once we respond to you with a confirmation, you can pay the deposit to secure your spot.
Terms and Conditions
Your deposit is non-refundable.
For the balance of your payment, we can refund you the full amount (minus your deposit) up to 8 weeks before the trip date in case you have an emergency, an illness, or you need to cancel.
Any time closer than 8 weeks means we cannot refund you. We recommend that you take out travel insurance that covers troop cancellations. That way should something happen such as a sudden illness, you would get a full pay-out from your insurance company.
Do not hesitate to e-mail us at info@visitiraq.co should you have any questions about payment methods, payment schedules, or any other inquiries.
