About the Iraqi Embassy in Berlin
The Iraqi Embassy in Berlin is the official diplomatic representation of the Republic of Iraq in Germany. It represents Iraqi interests and supports political, economic, development, cultural and institutional relations between Iraq and Germany.
Germany and Iraq established diplomatic relations in 1953. Full diplomatic relations were restored in 2004, and bilateral cooperation has expanded significantly since then, particularly in the fields of reconstruction, stabilisation and economic development.
Germany is an important international partner for Iraq in areas such as economic diversification, employment, climate adaptation, energy transformation and institutional capacity building. Cooperation also extends to education, research, cultural exchange and security.
In addition to its diplomatic activities, the embassy provides consular services for Iraqi citizens and handles passport, civil status, document and other official procedures.
Visa Information
Iraqi citizens generally need a visa for Germany. Short visits normally require a Schengen visa, while longer stays for employment, study, vocational training, family reunification or other purposes require the appropriate German national visa.
German citizens also require an appropriate entry authorisation for Iraq. Iraq currently operates an official electronic visa system through which eligible travellers can apply online before departure.
The correct Iraqi visa depends on the traveller's nationality, passport type, intended purpose and length of stay. Different requirements may apply to tourism, business, employment and other activities.
Travellers should therefore check the current visa category and complete the required procedure before departure rather than relying on older visa-on-arrival information.
Consular Services
The consular section of the Iraqi Embassy in Berlin provides a broad range of administrative and consular services for Iraqi citizens living or staying in Germany.
- Iraqi passport and travel document matters
- Emergency travel documents
- Civil status and personal documentation
- Powers of attorney and declarations
- Document authentication and certification
- Consular registration and citizen assistance
- Visa and entry-related matters where applicable
- Emergency consular assistance for Iraqi citizens
Some Iraqi consular procedures require the applicant to appear personally, particularly where identity verification, signatures or biometric information are necessary.
Applicants should check the current requirements for their specific consular procedure before submitting documents or travelling to Berlin.
Appointments
The procedure for consular services at the Iraqi Embassy in Berlin depends on the type of application. Different requirements can apply to passports, powers of attorney, civil status matters, document certification and other services.
Current official information does not provide a sufficiently clear basis for stating that every service follows one uniform appointment system. Applicants should therefore confirm whether a prior appointment or personal appearance is required for their particular procedure.
Residents of several western and southern German federal states should also check whether the Iraqi Consulate General in Frankfurt am Main is responsible for their place of residence before travelling to Berlin.

Applicants living within this district should check whether their particular consular matter should be handled by Frankfurt am Main rather than Berlin.
Germany is represented in Iraq by the German Embassy in Baghdad and the German Consulate General in Erbil. The embassy is responsible for Central Iraq, while the Consulate General serves the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
