Where can I apply for Kurdistan short-term residency?

1/27/2016 4:40:27 PM

According to the Kurdistan Government’s representation in Spain:

Visitors wishing to extend their stay in the Kurdistan Region beyond a three month period must apply for a Card of Residence.
Below is a general outline of the requirements for obtaining a residency card for an extended stay in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq:

  • One will need a sponsor/guarantor,
  • Fill out Application
  • Undergo a blood test
  • Provide 2 Photos
  • Clear an investigation

Pictures and blood tests are performed at the KRG Directorate of Residency offices. The fee is 36,000 Iraqi Dinars, and the process usually takes approximately 2-3 hours.

There appear to be three KRG Directorate of Residency offices:

  1. Erbil International airport
  2. Soran District Office
  3. Haji Omaran Border Checkpoint

Therefore it is impossible to submit the full documentation for a residency permit outside of Kurdistan. Of course, given the current instability in the region it’s hard to say if any official procedures are being followed.
