Türkiye is one of the largest destinations for Iraqis relocating for work, study, business and family reasons. Istanbul (especially Fatih, Esenyurt, Başakşehir) and Mersin host the densest Iraqi communities, with Arabic-language services widely available — doctors, lawyers, schools, real estate brokers.

Visa rules for Iraqi passport holders depend on passport type and itinerary — most ordinary-passport holders require a visa via consular sticker; some categories (diplomatic, special) have different access. Verify your specific case on evisa.gov.tr before booking travel.

Long-term residence requires a Turkish residence permit, typically applied for in-country once initial entry is established. Banking and document apostille can take weeks — plan paperwork lead time accordingly.
