Bring a passport with at least six months' validity, passport photos, and the visa fee (often payable only in cash). Lines can be long at peak times, so check whether Iraq also offers an e-visa to skip the queue.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Iraq immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
