How to apply for Vietnam visa on Arrival in Iraq?

1. Visa Options for Iraqi Passport Holders in 2026

Iraqi citizens are not exempt from Vietnam’s visa requirements. You have three primary ways to obtain a visa:

E-visa (Highly Recommended): Now available for stays up to 90 days with single or multiple entries. It is the fastest and most cost-effective way to apply from Baghdad, Erbil, or anywhere in Iraq.
Visa on Arrival (VOA): You must first apply for an Approval Letter through a licensed agency. Upon landing at a Vietnamese international airport, you pay the stamping fee to get the visa in your passport.
Embassy Visa: You can apply directly at the Embassy of Vietnam in Baghdad (House No. 2, Street 6, Hay Al-Jamia, Al-Mansour).

2. NEW FOR 2026: Mandatory Digital Arrival Card

Starting April 15, 2026, all travelers entering Vietnam—including those from Iraq—must complete a Digital Arrival Card before reaching the immigration counter, especially when landing at Tan Son Nhat (SGN) airport.

Timeline: You must submit the form online within 72 hours before your scheduled arrival.
The Result: A QR Code will be generated. You are required to show this QR code (on your phone or printed) to the immigration officer.
Purpose: This digital system replaces the old paper forms and is designed to speed up the processing of Iraqi travelers at the border.

3. Fees and Processing Times (2026 Update)

Visa Type	Gov. Fee	Processing Time	Entries
Single Entry E-visa	$25 USD	3 – 5 Working Days	1 time
Multiple Entry E-visa	$50 USD	3 – 5 Working Days	Unlimited for 90 days
