An Iraq visa is required for Sudanese citizens wishing to travel to the Republic of Iraq for tourism, business, family visits, or religious visits to holy shrines. Since March 2025, Iraq has suspended visa-on-arrival for most nationalities and replaced it with an e-visa system — however, this e-visa is limited to a defined list of around 50 eligible nationalities, and Sudan is not among them. Sudanese citizens must therefore apply for an Iraq visa in advance through an accredited Iraqi embassy or consulate before traveling. At Baeed Travel & Tourism, we help you prepare your file and follow up the embassy process step by step, saving you time and effort.
