Subject - Transit Visa.
Paragraph (b) of Article 3 of the Residence Law defined the transit visa
as that which (entitles the grantee the right to enter Iraq once within
a year from the date of its issuance and reside therein for (15) days). We have noted from this definition
that although this visa is named a (transit visa), there is nothing in its definition that restricts
its granting for the purpose of passing through Iraq only; rather, it may be granted to those who intend to visit Iraq
for a short period not exceeding the period allowed by the transit visa. Accordingly, please kindly indicate
whether you support this.
On behalf of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior
A copy thereof to " -
Directorate General of Police for information, with reference to your secret letter numbered S/878 and dated
13 / 5 / 1940. We wish to state regarding the precaution you mentioned, which is
the difficulty of deporting foreigners from Iraq after the expiry of the period allowed for them
to reside in Iraq if their continued stay is undesirable, given
that governments, due to current circumstances, have adopted a policy of closing their countries' doors
to foreigners - that this difficulty applies to all foreigners who
are permitted to enter Iraq under any type of visa. Adopting
the opinion we have stated regarding the transit visa does not increase this risk. Therefore, please
inform us of your opinion on making a decision - in view of current circumstances due to the ongoing
war - on the necessity of the foreigner who requests a visa to enter
Iraq - of whatever type - possessing a visa that assists them in entering
any country neighboring Iraq when the period of residence allowed to them by the type
of visa they requested expires. If they apply thereafter in Iraq for an extension of their residence,
it shall be noted not to extend it until they ensure the continued validity of the visa that

Transit Visas
The Tabriz Consulate, in the process of granting visas to
Iranian subjects, has adopted the granting of a transit visa to those of these scholars who request
an entry visa to Iraq under the pretext of
visiting the Holy Shrines, specifically for those whose
sincerity of intent is difficult to ascertain by the Directorate of General Security and the aforementioned
consulate.
Our guidance ⟦views⟧ not granting such
a proposal because a transit visa is only granted to those who intend
to pass through Iraq to other countries, or upon the auditing of
this department it appeared that [the transit visa], although it is ⟦claimed⟧
⟦fundamentally⟧ that its purpose is to ensure the passage of its holder from the kingdom
to which he belongs to another kingdom, yet it has been used recently
⟦purposes⟧ this clarification that it [grants] the grantee the right to enter
Iraq and stay therein once during a period of one year
from the date of its issuance and to reside there for a period of (15) days as it is.
We ⟦consider⟧ this type of visa to be incomprehensible, just as we have in
our previous ⟦correspondence⟧ that consuls shall not grant if there is
in granting such, especially since the one requesting it has obtained
a visa authorizing him the right to enter one of the countries neighboring Iraq.
Accordingly, our consulates abroad, upon changing instructions in
the approach, the last condition applies in the event of a desire to practice

short period, as evidenced by the existence of another visa, which is the ordinary visa mentioned in paragraph
(A) of Article Three and paragraph two of Article Thirteen of the law. In any case,
we leave the final opinion to the Ministry should it see otherwise, but what we wish to clarify
in this regard is that some foreigners, especially those whose presence in the country
is not desired, will exploit this aspect and benefit from it to the maximum extent possible, and thus
this directorate will face great difficulties in deporting these individuals when it is decided that their
