Dubai Visa for Iraqi Citizens

Do Iraqi citizens need a Dubai Visa? Yes. Ordinary Iraqi passport holders must arrange a visa before travelling to Dubai. Living outside Iraq does not change your passport nationality; provide your actual country of residence and departure when applying.

Dubai Visits Visa provides online applications, document review, sponsorship and submission support. UAE immigration authorities decide whether to issue a visa and admit a traveller.

Choose a 30-day Dubai Visit Visa

For tourism, Dubai Visits Visa offers this option alongside a 60-day Dubai Visa, with single-entry and multiple-entry products. Choose according to your intended stay and whether your itinerary involves leaving and returning to the UAE. Availability remains subject to application requirements and immigration approval.

Permitted stay and entry validity serve different purposes: one determines how long you may remain after arrival, while the other sets the deadline for using the visa to enter. Check both on the issued document.

Dubai Visa documents for Iraqis

Prepare these items before submission:

• A clear passport copy, with at least six months’ validity from UAE entry.
• A recent colour photograph.
• A copy of your Iraqi national identity card, specifically listed in Dubai’s tourist visa requirements.
• A return or onward travel ticket and medical insurance valid in the UAE.

Also provide accommodation details requested by Dubai Visits Visa. Additional supporting documents may be requested after review.

Fees, timing and application updates

Dubai Visit Visa fees from Iraq depend on the selected duration and entry type. Review the total payable amount and included services before payment.

Dubai Visa processing time from Iraq can vary with document checks and immigration review. Request an estimate for your application before committing to fixed travel arrangements; an estimate is not an approval deadline.
