Important Notes

Citizens of North Macedonia require a visa in advance for travel to Iraq. This visa must be obtained from an Iraqi embassy or consulate. The process can be complex and may require an invitation letter. Visa on arrival is generally not available for North Macedonian citizens, except potentially for the Kurdistan Region of Iraq under specific conditions, but this is not guaranteed for all nationalities and can change. For travel to the rest of Iraq, a standard visa is mandatory. Costs and processing times vary significantly by embassy and individual circumstances, and are not consistently published. It is highly recommended to contact the nearest Iraqi embassy (e.g., in Sofia, Bulgaria, which covers North Macedonia) directly for the most accurate and up-to-date requirements, fees, and processing times.
