Our guide to the Iraq visa from Spain
Nationals of Spain must obtain a visa to travel to Iraq. This visa takes the form of an e-Visa, applied for online before the trip, and the authorised stay is up to 30 days.
For a trip to Iraq, Spanish travellers use the Iraqi authorities’ official e-Visa portal: an online form, scanned documents and online payment. The fee amount and processing time can be checked on that portal or with the Iraqi embassy in Spain, preferably before booking flights.
Do you need a visa for Iraq?
Yes. A Spanish passport does not allow entry into Iraq without a visa: you must obtain an e-Visa online before departure. A visa on arrival is not open to holders of a passport from Spain, so the authorisation must be approved before the trip. It allows a stay of up to 30 days, not to be confused with the visa’s validity.
How much does an e-visa for Iraq cost from Spain?
The official fee for an e-visa for Iraq is not published in a source we can verify. Check the amount on the official portal before paying anything, third-party sites often add service fees on top.
What does a visa for Iraq really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
- Government feeNot published in a source we can verify
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
- Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.
What documents are required for an e-visa for Iraq?
The exact list for Iraq is not published in a source we can verify. Every short-stay tourist application is nonetheless built on the same core:
- Valid passport
- Completed application form
- Compliant passport photo
- Proof of accommodation
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Iraq before you apply.
Documents and fees
The basic documents are a valid Spanish passport, a digital passport-style photo and a scan of the personal data page; other supporting documents may be required depending on the purpose of the trip. For the fee amount and the minimum passport validity, refer to the official portal or the Iraqi embassy.
How to apply for an e-visa for Iraq from Spain

- 2Upload the required documents (passport, photo, supporting papers).
- 3Pay the fee online by card.
- 4Receive the authorisation by email, usually without a consular visit.

How to apply
Submit the application on the Iraqi government’s official e-Visa portal, whose address can be checked with the Iraqi embassy in Spain. Enter your information exactly as it appears in your passport, attach the requested documents and pay the fee online. Keep the submission confirmation, then print the authorisation once it is granted.
Where do you apply for a visa for Iraq from Spain?
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 Spain on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Spain 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.

How long does an e-visa for Iraq take?
No verified processing time is published for this route. Apply as early as your travel dates allow, and never book non-refundable travel before the e-visa is granted.
Processing time and tips
Check the current processing time on the official portal or with the embassy, and apply without waiting until the last few days before departure. Wait for approval before buying non-refundable tickets and plan a stay that fits within the 30 days allowed. Before leaving, also consult the recommendations of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
A common trap is the unofficial website that imitates a government portal and charges more for the application: check the address with the Iraqi authorities before paying. Other mistakes are a rejected photo, a typo in the passport number and exceeding the 30 days of authorised stay.
