→ Iraq visa for Iranian citizens
For Iraqi citizens, travel to Iran is refreshingly straightforward as the countries share a visa-free agreement, allowing for an extended stay of up to 90 days without a fee. This convenient arrangement, stemming from deep historical ties, means you can bypass the usual application process, which is particularly beneficial given the direct flight routes connecting Baghdad and Basra to major Iranian cities like Tehran and Mashhad. Remember to consider that Iran operates on Iran Standard Time (IRST), which is 3.5 hours ahead of Iraq Standard Time (IRST), and while many Iranians in tourist areas speak some English, having a few basic Farsi phrases like "salam" (hello) and "mamnoon" (thank you) can greatly enhance your interactions.
