Our guide to the Iraq visa from Germany
Yes, German passport holders must obtain a visa for Iraq: it is an e-Visa, applied for online on the Iraqi authorities’ official portal before departure, and it allows a stay of up to 30 days.
German travellers heading to Iraq file their application on the official e-Visa portal of the Iraqi authorities, without going through an intermediary. For fees and processing time, the reference is that portal or the Iraqi embassy in Germany, to be consulted before setting your travel dates.

Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Iraq before you apply.

Where do you apply for a visa for Iraq from Germany?
An e-visa for Iraq is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
You live in Germany on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Germany but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing time and tips

Common mistakes

Other pitfalls are a non-compliant photo, an inconsistency between the form and the passport, and a stay that exceeds the 30 days allowed.
