Frequently asked questions
What is the first step?
Getting admission from an Iraqi university before applying for the consular visa.
Does OuiVisa handle the residence?
No. OuiVisa (partner agency) assists enrolment + the visa; residence is referred to a licensed adviser.
Is the e-Visa valid in Iraqi Kurdistan?
Not automatically. The Kurdistan Region (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok) has a separate entry system from federal Iraq. Check your travel zone: the federal e-Visa (evisa.iq) covers federal Iraq. OuiVisa points you to the right procedure per your destination.
Is approval guaranteed?
No. Issuance is at the Iraqi authorities' discretion; OuiVisa prepares and submits the e-Visa, but approval is not guaranteed.
