Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit IQ?

Q: Is visa-on-arrival still available?

For most nationalities Iraq suspended visa-on-arrival on 1 March 2025. The Federal eVisa, applied for online before travel, is now the standard route.

Q: Does the Federal eVisa cover the Kurdistan Region?

Yes. A Federal Iraq eVisa is valid across the entire country, including the Kurdistan Region. A Kurdistan-only visa, however, is not valid for Baghdad or southern Iraq.

Q: How much does the Iraq eVisa cost?

The Federal eVisa government fee is approximately USD 160. A separate Kurdistan Region eVisa costs less (around USD 75) but is only valid within the KRI.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply?

No. Iraq is not in the Schengen area, so neither the Schengen short-stay rule nor ETIAS applies.

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Iraq. Since Iraq suspended visa-on-arrival for most nationalities on 1 March 2025, the standard route for a short tourist stay is the Federal Iraq eVisa, applied for online before travel. It is valid for the whole country, including the Kurdistan Region. Iraq does not grant visa-free entry to Brazilian citizens. Until early 2025 many travelers used visa-on-arrival, but Iraq suspended that channel for most nationalities on 1 March 2025 and now directs visitors to its official Federal eVisa portal (evisa.iq). The Federal eVisa is the recommended channel for a Brazilian tourist: it is applied for and approved online before departure, costs roughly USD 160, typically grants a 30-day stay, and is valid across the entire country including the autonomous Kurdistan Region (KRI). The autonomous Kurdistan Region separately maintains its own visa system (eVisa / visa-on-arrival for "List A" nationalities, which includes Brazil) that is valid ONLY within the KRI and cannot be used to travel onward to Baghdad or southern Iraq. A passport valid at least six months beyond entry is required. Because Iraq is not in the Schengen area, the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Iraq also carries serious security travel advisories, so travelers should check their own government guidance before booking. Verdict: eVisa (visa required, obtained electronically before arrival).
