Why this verdict
Türkiye's official visa table is unusually age-sensitive for ordinary Iraqi passports. Travellers aged 15 to 50 remain in the visa-required bucket unless they separately qualify for the narrower e-Visa path tied to certain third-country visas or residence permits.
Conditional rules
- Ordinary Iraqi passport holder under age 15 or over age 50 travelling for tourism Visa-free
Up to 90 days. Turkiye exempts ordinary Iraqi passport holders under 15 and over 50 from visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
- Ordinary Iraqi passport holder aged 15 to 50 with a valid Schengen member state, US, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit, plus any additional Türkiye e-Visa conditions for that nationality eVisa
Up to 30 days. Eligible travellers can use Türkiye's one-month single-entry e-Visa path instead of the standard mission-routed visa process. The qualifying third-country visa or residence permit must still be valid on the date of entry, and e-Visas issued by those supporting countries do not count.
