Travel documents and entry requirements for Amman to Najaf flights

Passport and visa requirements
Before flying from Amman to Iraq, ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates as Iraq enforces a 6‑month passport validity requirement for all visitors along with a clear passport scan, photo, and basic travel details during application. Most travelers will need a visa to enter Iraq, as Iraq requires a valid entry visa for tourism or other short‑term visits. Jordanian citizens require an e‑visa (electronic travel authorization) for short tourist visits to Iraq as traditional visas are no longer issued on arrival. The visa-on-arrival option has been suspended for most nationalities, making pre‑approved e‑visas essential before boarding flights to Iraq. Travelers must also show proof of onward/return travel, as airlines often deny boarding without proper e‑visa documentation. You can review the latest visa requirements and apply online through the official Iraq e‑Visa portal here.
