United Arab Emirates 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. United Arab Emirates citizens are treated the same way as Bahrain, China, Israel, Japan and Jordan. Overall the United Arab Emirates passport ranks #2 in the world with 128 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Asia? With a United Arab Emirates passport you can also visit 24 countries in the region without a visa, including Bahrain, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Iran, Jordan, Japan and Kyrgyzstan.
In the other direction, Iraq citizens need evisa to visit United Arab Emirates.
