Spain to Iraq visa requirements

Spanish ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Iraq. Since 1 March 2025, Iraq suspended visa-on-arrival for Spain and 36 other countries, so you must apply online at the official evisa.iq portal before you travel. The federal Iraq eVisa is also valid for the Kurdistan Region. A Spanish citizen with an ordinary passport requires an electronic visa (eVisa) for tourism in Iraq. This is a recent change: until 28 February 2025, Spaniards could obtain a visa on arrival, but the Iraqi Ministry of Interior suspended VOA for 37 nationalities (Spain explicitly included) effective 1 March 2025. Travelers must now apply through the official government portal at evisa.iq before departure, uploading a passport scan and a photo, and paying online. The standard tourist eVisa is single-entry, valid for 30 days with a stay of up to 30 days, and is processed in roughly 24-72 hours; total cost is about 206,000 IQD (around EUR 145 / USD 158, including a mandatory health-insurance component). The federal eVisa is also valid for entry to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Note that the Kurdistan Region additionally operates its own separate eVisa system (List A countries, including the EU, 30 days). Iraq is not in the Schengen area, so the 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Iraq remains subject to elevated travel-safety advisories, so check current Spanish Foreign Ministry guidance before booking.
