its year 2012, my brother working in UAE since couple years, so i decided to spend my saving on some travels and visit him! UAE online visa was so easy costed around $90 through any Travel agency and got it back within few days, evisa, single entry visa for 30 days, requirements were, passport bio page, return tickets, along with my work support letter and a personal photo! 

till now, UAE is one of the easiest visas for iraqi citizens!

in late 2019, while i had transit in dubai, i tried to get transit visa on arrival, but we are not eligible for transit visa, only visit visa. so get proper visa if you wanna experience UAE.

​

Update july 2023:

UAE introduced 5 years multi tourist visa for all nationalities, main requirement is having no less than 4000 us dollars in your bank account for the previous 6 months continuously.
