Iraq Visa for Travel Agencies
For travel agencies only. This service is for registered travel agencies and agents who sell Iraq visas to their own customers. If you are a traveller, please contact a travel agency.
Short answer: Travel agencies can order Iraq visas for their customers in the QuickOTA B2B Panel at B2B rates. You choose the visa, add the travellers, pay from your prepaid wallet, upload the documents and follow every order in the panel. To get access and see your rates, send a partnership request with "Visa" ticked: our team contacts you and opens your account once your agency is approved.
This page is for travel agencies in the Gulf, Iraq, the Levant, Egypt, Sudan, North Africa and the rest of Africa that sell Baghdad, Karbala, Najaf, Erbil and other Iraq trips. It explains how Iraq visas work in general, what to check for your customers, and how ordering works in QuickOTA. It is not visa advice: the official rules are published by the Iraqi authorities and can change.

How do Iraq visas work?
Iraq's visa rules depend on the traveller's nationality and the purpose of the trip. According to notices from Iraqi embassies, Iraq launched an electronic visa system and has required the e-visa since 1 March 2025, with applications made online through the official portal (evisa.iq) and the visa sent by email. The same notices say that visa on arrival was suspended for several groups of countries.
What this means for your agency:
- Apply before travel. Do not plan on a visa at the airport; order the e-visa in advance.
- Check validity on the visa itself. Official notices give different validity periods, so follow what the visa in your panel and the official portal state.
- Pilgrimage seasons. Demand for Karbala and Najaf rises sharply around religious occasions such as Arbaeen; order visas and hold flights early.
- Health registration. Iraqi embassy notices mention a separate health registration for longer stays; tell customers to check the official instructions.
The rules, fees and conditions are set by the Iraqi authorities and can change. Always follow the requirements shown for the visa in your QuickOTA panel, and check the official information before you take your customer's payment.

What should agencies check for their customers?
Agencies should check the passport, residence, purpose of travel and dates for every traveller before they take payment. Whether a customer needs a visa, and which one, depends on the passport and the trip, so check it against the visa's requirements in the panel and the official information. Do not tell customers they do or do not need a visa.
Common customer questions, and how to handle them:
- "Iraq visa for pilgrims going to Karbala and Najaf?" Check the requirements shown for the Iraq visa in your panel for that passport, and plan early around religious seasons.
- "Is Erbil different?" Arrangements for the Kurdistan Region can differ; follow the official sources and the visa shown in your panel.
- "How long does it take?" Follow the order in your panel and keep the customer updated. Do not promise a time the authorities have not confirmed.
Iraq trips are sold for pilgrimage to Karbala, Najaf, Kadhimiya and Samarra, for family visits, and for business in Baghdad, Basra and Erbil. In QuickOTA you search, hold and ticket the flights and order the visa in one panel. Pilgrimage groups can also use group requests.
