Passport/Visa

Note
Iraq continues to undergo a period of transition following the end of the US-led war against Saddam Hussein’s regime in March/April 2003. Most of the country’s political, social, physical and economic infrastructures have, by and large, been destroyed and need to be rebuilt, are in the process of being so, or have only just initiated recovery. As a result of the uncertain situation, some of the following information may be unreliable or inaccurate. All travel to Iraq is ill-advised unless for relief purposes.
