Iraq visa for Swiss citizens

Embarking on a journey from Switzerland to Iraq is now streamlined, with travelers able to secure an e-visa for stays up to 30 days. This digital convenience supports various travel purposes, from tourism to business or transit, with five distinct visa types available to suit your itinerary. While Swiss Francs are the norm at home, visitors to Iraq will find that US Dollars are widely accepted alongside the Iraqi Dinar, a practical detail to note when planning your finances for exploring historical sites like the ancient city of Babylon, a stark contrast to Switzerland's tranquil Alpine vistas. Direct flights are uncommon, often requiring a comfortable layover in major hubs such as Istanbul or Dubai before arriving in cities like Baghdad or Erbil.
