Iraq

Iraq has lifted COVID-19 measures, including travel restrictions, lockdowns and curfews. However, these measures could be reintroduced at short notice. If you're travelling to Iraq despite our advice or making departure plans, you must carry a negative COVID-19 certificate issued within 72 hours of scheduled travel. Due to 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 advise:

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.
