Current Travel Situation
Iraq to India: What You Need to Know
India requires Iraqi nationals to obtain a visa before entry. India and Iraq have historical cultural and trade links. Indian embassies in Baghdad and Erbil both process visa applications. Note that the eVisa program may not be available to Iraqi passport holders; a regular consular visa is the standard route.
How to Get There
Iraqi nationals must apply at the Indian embassy or consulate rather than using the online eVisa portal, as Iraqi passport holders are generally not eligible for the eVisa program. Confirm current eVisa eligibility with the Indian embassy at time of application.
Money & Banking
India uses the Indian Rupee (INR). ATMs available in cities. Cards accepted in urban areas but cash essential in rural regions. UPI payments widely used in urban India.
Practical Tips
Apply well in advance. India is a vast country with enormous regional diversity from Delhi and Agra to Kerala and Rajasthan. Carry cash for local transport and street food. Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Vaccinations including hepatitis A and typhoid are advisable.
