Singapore to Iraq visa requirements

Singapore passport holders need an eVisa to visit Iraq. Apply online at the official portal evisa.iq before you travel — visa-on-arrival is no longer an option for most visitors since March 2025. As of June 2026, Singapore (ordinary passport) holders are NOT visa-exempt for the Republic of Iraq and cannot rely on visa-on-arrival. Iraq launched a centralized federal eVisa system (evisa.iq) and, effective 1 March 2025, suspended the visa-on-arrival program for the nationalities that previously used it, requiring an electronic visa obtained in advance. Singapore was never on Iraq's visa-exemption or VOA list, so Singaporeans must secure a visa before travel; the eVisa is the standard route for tourism/short visits. The eVisa is a single-entry tourist visa, typically valid for entry within a set window and allowing a stay of up to 30-60 days depending on the issued type, and it is valid for all of Iraq including the Kurdistan Region. The all-in cost is roughly USD 158-160 (around 206,000 IQD), which bundles the visa fee with a mandatory health-insurance component collected at the portal/on arrival. Processing is fast — commonly 24-72 hours. Passports must be valid at least six months. Note that Iraq remains a high-risk destination subject to government travel advisories; travelers should check the latest security guidance and consider that some areas may require additional permits or be off-limits. Always apply through the official evisa.iq portal rather than third-party agents.
