Iraq

Iraq has implemented a range of measures in response to COVID-19, including travel restrictions, lockdowns and curfews. International flights have resumed at reduced capacity. But these can be postponed or cancelled at short notice. If you're travelling to Iraq despite our advice, you must carry a negative COVID-19 certificate issued within 48 hours of departure. 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, 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.
