Argentina to Iraq visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa obtained in advance to visit Iraq for tourism. Argentina is not on Iraq's 37-nation e-visa/visa-on-arrival list, so the standard route is a traditional tourist visa applied for at an Iraqi embassy or consulate before travel. Iraq does not grant Argentine citizens visa-free entry, visa on arrival, or eligibility for its online e-visa. Since 1 March 2025, Iraq replaced its visa-on-arrival scheme for 37 designated nationalities (EU/EEA states, the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Russia, China and a few others) with a mandatory pre-departure e-visa via the official portal at evisa.iq. Argentina is not included in that list. Argentine ordinary passport holders therefore fall into the standard category and must obtain a tourist visa in advance from an Iraqi diplomatic mission. Argentina has no resident Iraqi embassy handling tourist visas in all periods, so applications are typically processed through the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq accredited to Argentina (commonly handled via the mission in Brasília, Brazil, or the embassy in Buenos Aires when operating) — applicants should confirm the current competent mission before applying. Independent tourism in Iraq remains restricted in practice; many travelers enter via an approved tour operator or local sponsor, and the Iraqi Kurdistan Region (KRI) operates a separate entry permit regime from federal Iraq. Because no confirmed no-visa or e-visa channel exists for Argentina, the conservative and accurate verdict is visa-required. Fees, validity and processing depend on the specific mission; tourist visas are generally issued for a 30-day stay, single entry. Travelers should verify requirements directly with the Iraqi mission and check Argentina's Cancillería travel advisories, as security conditions can affect entry.
