The countries include permanent members of the UN Security Council, and European Union countries, as well as Japan, South Korea, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Switzerland.
“Citizens of these countries will be able to pay to obtain a visa on arrival at Iraq’s airports and land and sea border crossings, but must comply with all Iraqi preventive health measures as decided by the Higher Committee for Health and National Safety,” a statement on the Iraqi Government website read.
