All
U.S. citizens visiting Iraq must have passports valid for at least six
months beyond the intended travel period and Iraq visas. Iraqi visas
must be obtained from the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, DC. Visitors
must report to the Iraq Ministry of Health within 7 days of arrival to
submit a blood sample and receive an arrival sticker.
U.S. government contractors may have
different visa and residency requirements, and should verify the
correct documentation and procedure with their contracting company and
company representative.
Visitors who exceed the allowable 7 days for registration will
be fined. Those who are staying less than 7 days do not need to
apply for a residency stamp. Official or diplomatic passport holders
must also obtain a residency stamp. Credential, proof of
employment, and two passport sized photos are necessary for the stamp.
Visitors who will be working in Iraq should arrange the details of
their visa with their employers and the Iraqi Embassy. If the work
contract is specified in the visa, visitors will be in violation of
their permit if they remain after the contract is concluded.
An exit stamp and an exit fee are required to leave Iraq. Exit stamp fees vary, depending on length of stay, type of entry visa, and other factors.
Transporting more than USD $10,000 or 200,000 Iraqi dinars by adult
Iraqi and foreign travelers is strictly prohibited. In addition,
transporting more than 100 grams of gold outside of Iraq is also not
allowed.
Iraq does not allow visitors with HIV/AIDS to enter the
country. At this time there is no waiver available for this
ineligibility. However, please inquire directly with the Embassy of
Iraq before you travel for any changes.
