Iraq Passport

The Iraq passport currently offers a visa-free or visa-on-arrival count of 29 destinations, reflecting its standing in global travel mobility. According to the 2026 passport ranking data, Iraq holds the 99th position globally, showing a shift from its 2025 rank of 104 and a significant change from its 2006 rank of 81. With a global score of 52 and an openness score of 28, the passport provides limited access without prior administrative hurdles. Notably, Iraqi citizens do not have visa-free Schengen access, requiring a formal visa application for entry into the European Schengen Area. Travelers holding an Iraqi passport can access several countries through different entry requirements. Visa-free destinations include Malaysia, Iran, and Dominica, while visa-on-arrival options are available in locations such as Lebanon, Madagascar, and the Maldives. Additionally, electronic travel authorizations (eTA) are required for entry into Sri Lanka, Kenya, and the Seychelles. For the majority of global destinations, including the United States, United Kingdom, and most of Europe, a standard visa is required. The historical data indicates that while the number of accessible countries has fluctuated, reaching a peak of 31 in 2024 and 2025, the passport remains within the lower tiers of international rankings.
