Entry rules for Iraq passport holders
Iraqi citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Nepal. Applications generally go through a Nepal embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Nepal immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
