Hello

 

I have been offered employment in Iraq.

 

I need to get a one year work visa for Iraq.

 

I am a British Citizen on a retirement visa here in Thailand.

 

Can I get a 1 year work visa for Iraq from their Embassy in Bangkok.

 

I have been told I may have to get the work visa from the Iraq Embassy in the Country of my passport that is a trip to UK.

 

Much easier if I can do this from Thailand, if not maybe Malaysia or Singapore

 

Any information on this most appreciated.

 

Thanks in Advance

 

Regards

 

Iraq doesn't have any representative in Thailand anymore, the closest to here is in KL.

No idea regarding the issuing of work visas to non residents, best to contact them and ask.

Mate of mine working on a contract through the Iraq MoI had his passport details sent in advance. He was then on an their immigration list, paid them US$202 and got the work visa on arrival. Showed a copy of the MoI letter at check-in and was allowed to board in BKK.

Nope.

 

The only place you can get a Visa is through your employer, who will get it in Country through the MOI. and email you the details.

 

Anything else is a scam.

Hello

 

Thanks for the interesting comments

 

So far I am told that you must be in your home country to apply for a work visa for Iraq, hence UK for me

 

Also the medical check requirements are very strict, HIV, HBSAG, HCV and MANTOUX ( TB ) test. All must be done in recognized UK Lab. cost I think about 500 pounds

 

Comments appreciated to include and advise where to get the medical checks done in the area of Manchester, UK.

 

Thanks

 

 

Does anyone know if the Iraqi consulate has re-opened in Bangkok and, if so, where?
