Washington, DC, USA (us.gov.krd) - The Kurdistan Regional Government has lifted COVID-19 restrictions. As of April 1, 2022, fully vaccinated Iraqi and foreign travelers will no longer need to present a recent negative PCR test ahead of traveling. Travelers above the age of 12 who have received one dose of Johnson & Johnson, or two doses of any other vaccine will no longer require evidence of a recent negative PCR test when traveling to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. In cases where an individual cannot receive a vaccine, proof of a negative PCR test conducted in the previous 72 hours will be required. Travelers under the age of 12 are exempt from both, the PCR test and the COVID-19 vaccine.
