Iraq: Visit Visa Options for GCC Nationals Expanded

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country nationals are now eligible for two visit visa options for tourism and some business activities. The first visa is a single-entry visa-on-arrival, which allows a stay of up to 60 days and costs USD 75, and the second is a multiple-entry visa issued in an Iraqi consular post in the applicant’s country of residence, which allows a stay of up to one year and costs USD 150 (and takes 72 hours to process). Previously, GCC country nationals were only eligible for a visa-on-arrival valid for 30 days.
