→ Iraq visa for Dutch citizens

For Iraqi citizens planning a visit to the Netherlands, securing a Schengen visa is a necessary step, with options ranging from tourist visas for a 90-day stay to various work and business permits. The typical Schengen visa application fee is €80, so factor this into your budget for your travels. Given the flight distance of over 3,500 kilometers, planning your trip during the shoulder seasons of spring or autumn often provides a more pleasant experience than the bustling summer months, with fewer crowds and potentially milder weather. Remember that while English is widely spoken in tourist areas, learning a few basic Dutch phrases will always be appreciated.
