Entry rules for Iraq passport holders
Iraqi citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Uzbekistan. Applications generally go through a Uzbekistan 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 Uzbekistan immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
How this compares
The Iraqi passport ranks #197 worldwide, opening 31 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (8 visa-free, 21 with a visa on arrival and 2 with an eTA). Uzbekistan is not among them — it is one of the 119 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.
In the other direction, Uzbekistani citizens traveling to Iraq face a different rule: e-visa.
Central Asia is closed to spontaneous travel for Iraqi passport holders: none of its 5 destinations can be entered without an application first.
