Pathways to Residency and Citizenship in Iraq

Iraq

The covered routes concern foreign investors and employees on licensed investment projects under federal Iraq’s system. They do not cover the Kurdistan Region’s separate investment and immigration framework. A company or project license must be followed by the required personal entry and residence process.

Use the residence comparison guide to compare the covered routes. Residence permission does not itself grant citizenship.
