Iraq

Iraq has implemented a range of measures in response to COVID-19, including travel restrictions, border closures, lockdowns and curfews. A flight suspension is currently in place. If you're in Iraq prepare to remain in place until the flight suspension is lifted. Monitor the media for information on latest developments and follow the advice of local authorities. With the volatile security environment and the ongoing threat of kidnappings, we advise you to leave Iraq as soon as you are able to do so. If you're staying in Iraq despite our advice, be alert and check media for updates on new threats.

We haven't changed our level of advice:

Do not travel to Iraq, including the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, due to the volatile security situation and very high risk of violence, armed conflict, kidnapping and terrorist attack.
