South Korea passport holders need an eVisa to enter Iraq. You apply online, upload a passport scan and a photo, pay the fee and receive the visa by email. Apply at least one to two weeks before your trip and print the approval — some airlines and border officers ask to see it on paper.
The main option is the Iraq e-Visa.
Whatever your visa status, Iraq applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Iraq lets 1 passport in without a visa, issues eVisas to 47 and requires an embassy visa from 150. South Korea citizens are treated the same way as Bahrain, China, Israel, Japan and Jordan. Overall the South Korea passport ranks #34 in the world with 116 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Asia? With a South Korea passport you can also visit 20 countries in the region without a visa, including Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Laos and Mongolia.
In the other direction, Iraq citizens need a visa to visit South Korea.
