Overview

SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM DB: evidence now points to Bangladeshi nationals applying primarily through the Iraqi Embassy in Dhaka rather than the federal eVisa portal. The Embassy of Iraq in Dhaka's own official fee schedule (mofa.gov.iq/dhaka) lists Tourist/Religious Visit Visa USD 30, Regular Visa USD 40, and Multi-Visa (3/6/12-month) USD 100 — all below the DB's USD 75 eVisa figure. Multiple sources (Wikipedia's Visa Policy of Iraq, a visa aggregator) now state Bangladesh is NOT on evisa.iq's eligible-nationality list, and that Iraq suspended visa-on-arrival for most nationalities on 1 March 2025, retaining it only for a specific ~37-country list (EU/GCC/wealthy nations) that excludes Bangladesh. This directly conflicts with the DB's claim of general eVisa access 'since 2024' — could not fully resolve the conflict against an authoritative current evisa.iq nationality list this session, so the eVisa route should be treated as unconfirmed and the Embassy route as the safer default to quote customers.

Visa types: Embassy-issued (Dhaka): Visit/Tourism Visa (single entry, up to 1 month); Regular/Normal Visa (single entry, up to 3 months); Transit Visa; Multi-Visa (3/6/12 months). Federal eVisa (evisa.iq) eligibility for Bangladesh nationals is disputed/unconfirmed this session — do not present as guaranteed. Kurdistan Region (KRI) runs a separate eVisa (visit.gov.krd) with its own nationality rules, not checked this session.
