Entering/Exiting Iraq | Customs and Immigration

Crossing from Kuwait to Iraq

At the Kuwait side the first step is customs. He wanted our Carnet even though we didn’t get it stamped when entering from Saudi Arabia. After finding our car in the system he proceeded to stamp the Carnet on a full page 3 times and just giving it back to us without writing or ripping off something. He clearly didn’t know how it worked. So be careful there with your Carnet, luckily the Iraqi side just used the same page with the Kuwait stamps and didn’t care about them. Afterwards the immigration was easy.

On the Iraqi side you have to stop at the gate and go the window on your left. Then you have to go around the booth and to the booth behind and get a car entry stamp for the driver. Then back to the first window and they write down some details about the car. Then park on the right side in front of the containers. The left one is for the Carnet, the second one on the right is for insurance and the right one for copies. Insurance was 22 USD, we paid with a 50$ and got the change in IQD. The copies will cost 4.000 IQD. At the customs they send you to pay for the entry and the building to do that is in the middle of the compound and seems abandoned. There we had to pay 40.000 IQD. With the receipt you can go back to the customs and get the carnet stamped and 3 copy stacks for the exit. On our way we passed the arrival building so we just did our visa while we were there. It costs 79 USD plus 3.000 IQD only payable by card. Took 15-20 minutes to get it done. Then we collected the car back at the roundabout, the customs had a short look in it and gave us a small paper slip and we drove to the exit. There we gave them the paper slip and the 3 copies and were free to enter Iraq.

First window at Kuwait side is customs for carnet stamp. Took a bit longer for us due to new software system on their side.

Second window nothing but after this window you have go inside the building on the right for passport check. They keep green permit and visa.

Then continue to final gate where passport is checked for Kuwait exit stamp.

Iraq side quite easy. At first gate they check your documents and do superficial car check. Right after the gate (before roundabout) go to window on the left side. Here they write down some info about you and your car. Go to the office behind the window for something with your passport (no fees here).

Then continue to roundabout and park on right side. Go to most left container for carnet. Then second from the right container for insurance. Then go to banking office by foot. This is somewhere in the middle of the compound, 200 meters or so away from the roundabout. Here we paid +/- $27 for carnet processing. Then back to the roundabout for 3 sets copies (most right container) (paid 5.000 IQD). Go back to most left container for gate pass and leave one set of copies there.

Then drive to passport building which is clearly visible from roundabout. Go inside and take immediate left to get your visa. Fees for visa including processing: $79, 1.000 IQD, 2.000 IQD (creditcard only, no cash!). Once you have the visa go to the other windows inside the same building for last stamp.

Get back in your car and drive towards exit. There they keep last 2 sets of copies and the gate pass and do another superficial car check.

Kuwait --> Iraq
At the very beginning there was a kind man speaking English in the booth on the left that registered our car in and told us to get the entry car stamp in the driver's passport. After that we went to the carnet "office" (a container on the right) for the stamps (it was very confused and confusing but we hope we have the right stamps, they did it in the same page as Kuwait). We had to go to a very hidden office (ask around) to pay the entry tax for the car (40.000 IQD, they said no dollars) and then back to the carnet office for copies and gate pass.
We didn't buy insurance and at the exit they didn't ask for it.
Passport was very easy compared: go to arrivals, fill a form, pay (75 $ pp + 3000 iqd pp) and get the entry stamp.

Crossed early in the morning. Followed the detailed instructions from a few comments back, except we got our Carnet stamped and DID NOT go to the office where you are supposed to pay the 'fee'. I translated the sign outside and it says for 'public and commercial vehicle's does not apply to us. Anyway, visa in Arrivals Hall ($78pp) and they were so friendly we asked of they'd kindly photocopy our stamped carnet, which they did.
The went to exit gate. They argued a bit that we had to go back to pay and get our departure card but we told them this is not for us, we are a private tourist vehicle. Eventually, a three-star officer intervened and said indeed 'this is not for you' and told the guy off. That's it. Done in under 1 hour. Argue and protest! We shouldn't pay any customs fee, that's why we have the Carnet!!

When leaving Iraq I paid 25 US dollars to stamp the CPD and 5 US dollars for the various procedures... or 30 dollars in total. I didn't have enough on me, I gave everything I had and some nice Kuwaiti people took pity on me... they made up for it. For entry into Kuwait I paid 20 euros (by card) for a visa for one month... an hour's wait but friendly and understanding customs officers on both sides...

KUWAIT>>IRAQ

Very accurate description by the French guys. Made my life easier. Quick exit from Kuwait. Took me 1 hour to enter Iraq, just because of the different places you need to go to (again, very accurate previous report). Very friendly and helpful officers and local travellers. They are very used to CPD, other GCC countries travellers had their, too. I just told them I'd exit Iraq to Iran, not to Turkey.
As soon as you cross, google maps doesn't allow you to navigate point by point, just "preview". You can still more or less follow the blue line, or use another app that might or not work. My Omani sim card was supposed to work in all GCC countries, including Iraq, but couldn't have signal even after registering on local network. So arriving in Basrah, I went to Asiacell in Basrah Times Square Mall, the only store that can sell you Hala Line, the temporary tourist sim card (other shops refused me because I was not a resident). Card works for 30 days, but after 15 you need to send them an sms to renew the period (instructions on the card package). Welcome to Iraq!

KUWEÏT > IRAQ
French Passeports.

First gate they will take your passeport and CPD. After they checked them, you park on the right side of the roundabout, you will find the insurance office. You can pay in dollars. (1 week : 22dollars or 1 month : 26 dollars) you will have to do some copies just next to the insurance office. Don't know the price but you have to pay in IQD (The guy of the insurance paid for us)

After you have to go at the custom office it's just next to the insurance. Here it's a bit of a mess. You have to find a person who speaks a little English to explain what you want and above all to explain well in which direction you are coming. They are not used to travelers in the direction of Kuwait > Iraq. They are used to CPDs.

To complete the validation of the CPD, you will have to go to the banking office. This is where you will pay the customs fees.(30 dollars). They will give you a paper that you will then have to give back to the customs office.

Keep all the papers and copy with you, It will be requested at the exit.

Then you can go park in front of the building to make your passport. It's brand new and visible from the round about. A sheet to fill with your information and in 15 minutes your visas are done. 75 dollars per person and 3000 IQD for I don't know what 😅 but it's rated at the entrance to the immigration office.

And it's done ! Welcome to Iraq.

Took us 3 hours in Iraq side. Because of some misunderstandings with the CPD. No need of a fixer just some time and some patience. It's a bit of a mess, lot of people around and lot of officers without any uniform so difficult to know who is who.

Iraq > Kuwait. Very quiet on a Sunday morning.

Drive up to the first gate after the roundabout where they do a preliminary passport check and very superficial car check.

Continue to the last roundabout (see green pinpoint on my screenshot (on the screenshot there is no roundabout indicated but in real life there is one)) and park your car on the left side of it.

Walk back to the passport control and Iraq exit stamp at the red pinpoint. Then walk back to your car and enter the building/container there to start your cdp process. Inside you get some stamps/signatures on the copies you received when entering Iraq. Outside of the office/container is a table where another guy gives you some stamps/signatures. Go back to the guy inside and again to the guy outside for some more stamps/signatures until they send you away to the next place.

That is where it got super unclear. They send you to an office which they pronounce as "paises" or "baises" (written phonetically). We walked around the place and shouted out this word until people pointed us in the general direction. In the end we found it close to the blue pinpoint on my screenshot. It is the most southeastern office in the roofed area that they use as a parking lot. It's an office with blue sofas, a desk, and a big Iraqi flag. Here you'll get some more stamps/signatures on the copies.

Then walk back to the roofed parking area and turn right immediately and walk 20-30 meters to the first container to make payment (don't know what for exactly, probably cdp or exit fee). You pay the guy in the container (for us it was the same guy that was at the table outside where you parked the car and started the cdp process, if he is not at container I gues you walk back to the area where you parked the car). Even though on Ioverlander everyone says they paid in US dollar, he did not want to accept dollar. Luckily there was an English speaking local that changed money for us. Paid 25000 Dinar (which we changed for $15). You get a piece of paper after paying.

Go back to the building/container where your car is and finish the carnet proces.

Once done go towards the exit of the roundabout where they check the car with dogs.

Continue to Kuwait side.

#Iraq crossing from south to north

Last week (so most recent) we crossed Iraq for a 4th time this year.
Everything changed so (please remember if you read older posts the situation is different now):
1. Cdp is a must when entering in Safwan
2. They wanted to see stamps in cdp from Kuwait which I didn't have, it took some discussion to get stamp in cdp
3. Fees for the car in Safwan: 25 usd insuramce, 42 000 IQD (32 usd) for cdp stamp, 5000 IQD for document copies. So around 52 usd comparing to 150 usd for the same in June without cdp.
3. In Safwan they stamped entry and exit and when I asked about exit theybsaid it's for Ibrahim Khail.
4. On the FIRST checkpoint in Kurdistan, road from Bagdad to Mosul, the soldier wanted to see cdp, could read it and compared with car plate. He asked for a "document for Ibrahim Khalil from customs'. He was after training on it.
5. Exit in Ibrahim : cdp stamp on exit, 42 000 IQD (32 usd, have IQD ready as they don't take usd and you have to exchange in the cafe).

I know that opposite way Ibrahim to south so far they don't stamp cdp, but I guess it can change next year.

BTW there is a "vip" path now in Ibrahim - after last booth on Iraqi side go straight along trucks, don't turn left with everybody. This quick path is for Turkish and EU cars and you don't have to stand in a long queue on the bridge with all smugglers.
Also a 1 piece of passengers + driver list is needee on Iraqi and Turkish side (doc to be downloaded from web, info in ioverlander) or just hand write names, birthdates, passport number, plate.

A. Iraq

- drive straight till the rounabout at the end - entry gate from Kuwait. Park at the right side, go to barrack in the middle (big plate), at the left there is insurance plate barrack. They stamp cdp (no paperwork). Go through the roundabout to barrack (only one, left corner doors) for small paper with exit stamp. 5 mins.

- go back 50 m to new passport hall (exit) for visa stamp.

- at the exit gate they stamp exit with a car in passport.

B. Kuwait

Go with a flow, easy process.

Descriptio below is correct, but after paying 25usd you need to go back to roundabout to the containers to get gate pass (small grey paper). Without it you won't be able to exit border area.
Also in the containers you will get 4 copies of your car papers. Keep them because you will be asked for them in few places. They want few at the exit gate.
Side not: police and building with containers is around 200m from roundabout - this is the road not going to immigration buildong, but more on left. If you find all these steps then fixer is not needed. Insurance for motorbike for 1 week is 7 USD

New, simpler process to get in to Iraq - first you make the car in - just after entering there is a roundabout with some containers. Go to the one in the corner (there is a plate in Arabic). Here you pay 100 USD After to the left - a plate with word insurance - 25 usd. After to the last comtainer to the right (farest from the entrance).
Then you go to police - it's behind passport container. Last with car papers - to the yellow small building with 2 red water containers on the roof (you see it from the police place, towards the exit). Here to pay 25 usd.
Next go to make visa. The end of the story. No need for fixer.
I think in 2-3 months all will be in the new buildings.

We arrived at the Kuwait border at 7:20 and were the first to exit and enter Iraq, apparently you have to pay the 100$ for the “Ministry of transportation”, we asked several people independently. The border crossing is quite chaotic, but managable. After 2,5 hours we made it. We were forced to use a fixer at the end.

for the ladies: some men don't respect woman. they sent my boyfriend away for Visa etc and told me to stay by the car.
One of the official border men came to me make selfies and i couldnt even react it was so fast, he layed his arm around my neck and throat, so i could not get away and give me a kiss on the chest. I said No!!! Was shocked and luckily a friend helped me. some men saw this and came to try to do also selfies but we sent all of them away. Maybe it is better to cover your head. maybe it is because i am young, blonde and blue-eyed, because my women friend with higher age they were not interested in. i wear also a long Abaya.
of course not all men are like this but it is better to be prepared for situations like this. Shout when men try to take pictures and you don't want to.

Before crossing this border from Kuwait to Iraq we have been texting a bit with Hosam who knows more about the procedures. This helped us understand a bit more about the costs and why some travellers pay less/more then others. Here is his story that he allowed us to share:

Dear tourists, you are welcome from all countries of the world. Iraq is your second country. I am pleased to offer you assistance in a detailed explanation of entering Iraq. The first point to enter Iraq is the Safwan border crossing of the city of Basra. At the first gate, they will ask you for passports to inspect the departure stamp from Kuwait, and sometimes they do not ask. You will enter the border crossing, and you will see there are a group of office containers on the left side, in which cars bearing license plates of the Arab Gulf states will be entered, and their entry will be free (due to the agreements between these countries), but if The Gulf nationals wanted to cross to another country, they also have to pay the transit fees - ------------------------------ The fees you have to pay---First - $100 for the Iraqi Ministry of Land Transport, and they give you a white paper valid for a month to keep the car in Iraq, and also pay $22 for the National Insurance Company of the Iraqi Ministry of Finance, and also pay $17, or the equivalent of 26,000 Iraqi dinars, and 5,000 Iraqi dinars, or its equivalent in dollars, for the fees of the reproduction office . These fees are mandatory, and they will give you a receipt for it, and do not pay any money without a receipt for that. Sometimes, some employees may be lenient with you and excuse you from paying some fees by telling their manager, and he assesses the situation and decides according to the circumstance. All fees may be facilitated except for $100. Ministry of Transportation . As for the visa, it varies from one country to another, but it ranges from $50 to $75. When you enter the containers, you should ask about a person called Hosam ALfadhly. He knows what you have to do and he will help you if you need anything. He is honest and you should trust him. Your cars will be searched by security agencies such as the Iraqi intelligence and make sure that you do not have internationally prohibited items or hunting rifles and the like. After that, you have to get an internet connection line to use the GPS while roaming. You will find an office belonging to a profitable telecommunications company. They will give you valid internet for a full month for 50,000 Iraqi dinars. If you want to convert the currency from the dollar to the dinar, you must go to Google and check the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar - finally, do not worry about anything. Iraq is a safe country and the people there are friendly, and you can visit all the cultural landmarks in all of Iraq, with my wishes for you to have a good time on your trip Inside Iraq --------- Note - If you need any assistance, you should contact Hosam Alfadhly on this number +9647834422650

Very chaotic border crossing.

When we arrived a man took our license plate numbers in a notebook and checked our passports at the roundabout. Continue to the arrival hall and ask for a visa on arrival. 77 USD. Took 20-30 minutes. Everything until this point was smooth.

There is a lot of construction going on so we couldn’t find the customs office. Tried to ask the soldiers where it was without any success. We were sent out into the closest town but went back three times to try to find the customs office (to ensure that the motorcycles were legal in the country) but the military sent us back every time. We even had a local Iraqi on the phone trying to find it but with no luck. So we didn’t pay anything for the bikes or used the CDP and it didn’t have any issues about it. We just showed our bike registration paper from back home at some checkpoints and no questions asked.

When we left Kurdistan to Turkey they just put our bike information in their system and we were let go.

We think the customs office is behind some temporary fences if you are looking for it!

Kuwait: you do need to go to the airport now to get the green paper. They were not able to make one for us at the border anymore. After talking to them for a long time we able to exit the country without the green paper, but it did not seem like they would allow it again.

Iraq: we did everything without a fixer. Process is not too difficult, and the Iraqi people were nicer than at the border with Iran, did not even ask for a bribe once ;)
We wrote down the total process including coordinates and some pictures of the “officices”.

1. They check your passport at the first gate
2. Walk to the Arrivals hall for visa on arrival. It’s right in front of the gate and has a sign on the outside. Cost of the visa is $75 plus $2 administration costs
3. 30.102478, 47.716209 walk here to the customs office (picture 1: the one with the big sign outside). Asked for a stamp in the carnet, they made copies of our passport en car passport here, than someone took us to the next coordinates
4. 30.103753, 47.716502 (picture 2: the container with the golden plates next to the doors) we first went to the office on the right, waited there for a while with the officer, and than he took us to the office on the left. here you pay $100 for the temporary import
5. 30.101323, 47.714812 (picture 3) we walked here with the officer. Here stay stamp the carnet, give you all the copies they made before, give you the receipt of the 100$ payment, and you get a small slip that you need to give at the gate.
6. Drive to the gate, a bit before the gate you give the small slip to an offer. Than at the gate they check your passport again and you give 2 of the copies of the passport.

They did not ask us to get insurance anywhere so we didn’t get one.

Total process of both exit and entry took us 3,5 hours.

Kuwait > Iraq crossing.

The previous detailed description helped us a lot to navigate the border crossing, but some important points:

- We did not have to pay the exit fee when leaving Kuwait, we were just waved through to the next checkpoint. We also didn’t notice other Kuwaiti cars paying it.

- We did not have a Green Permit, and had to wait about 30 minutes for them to do it for us at the border. So it was possible for us to cross without it but the officers mentioned in the past they made an exception but from now on you need the Permit again that you should get at the airport (we’re not sure if this is true, but anyhow they were still able to make it for us at the border).

- We did not have to pay the 100$ import fee nor insurance in Iraq. The custom officials and the fixers will tell you it’s mandatory and will send you to the container where you will see a sign mentioning « 100$ », but after some discussions to understand the fee better (and get a receipt), we stumbled upon a senior official of the border who took over our paperwork and informed us that it’s illegal to ask for any money at this border, and the fixers are a « scam ». In the end, we went back to the initial office where they stamp everyone else’s Carnet, and got it done there without paying anything! The car insurance was also not mandatory to buy here at the border (contrary to what the initial custom officials told us).

With some border crossing experience, it’s easy to manage the Iraqi part alone (without fixer) by following the below comments.

Report Check-In

KUW->IRQ

Exit Kuwait:
I arrived here late, only at 10:15 am. And I didn’t have the green permit.

Exit Kuwait:
1. First checkpoint: For entering the border area you have to show them your passport & Carnet. They call the Carnet CT, so don’t get confused. They don’t take a look inside, they only make sure that you enter only with a Carnet.
2. Second checkpoint: Customs. First you have to pay 2 KD (People in front and me payed cash). On the second window your customs process will be completed. In theory fast but they could not find my data in the system. After some time I had to park on the side and come with them to the customs building where I waited one hour until they „found a solution“. Back at the drive in counter they gave me a slip (again for the last checkpoint) and stamped my carnet three times on the left side. I explained them to please at least stamp the upper right side too and after discussions he stamped the right side three times and didn’t take the slips for him. Everything remained in the Carnet.
3. Third checkpoint: Passport. The drive-in guy told me to park my car and enter Immigration office. There the first question was if I have the green permit. I said no and they took my passport and visa & told me to sit down. Suddenly it got crowded because the border bus arrived with a lot of people. After the second bus arrived and everyone was processed I was able to receive my Exit stamp. They took the visa for their records and told me, that it took so long because I didn’t have the permit. You get a slip again for the last checkpoint.
4. Next checkpoint takes both slips and gives you the car slip back.
5. Now you have to drive a long way close to the Iraqi border. There they take the car slip off you.

Crossing without the green permit is possible. You just have to bring more time at the border. But going to the airport to get the permit - I assume - will cost you more time then waiting 45 minutes at the border immigration office. Kuwaiti side 130 minutes & all Drive-In-Counters.

Enter Iraq:
1. Immediately after the fence they check your passport & existence of Carnet. You get a stamp in the passport.
2. Park your car and go to immigration. Ask the guys for Visa on Arrival. If they seem to not understand then point on the very right door behind them. Tell them you have to go there for Visa on Arrival. The officers there will issue it for you. For me they took a passport copy, told me to do the car paperwork and then to come back. Was perfect, because when I came back every form was filled in. I only had to pay 77$ cash (they had change 5$ bills upwards) and got the visa sticker and a second stamp in my passport.
3. After you leave the immigration office try to get a fixer. They try to get contact with you but they are not offensive. Not at all. I even was able to go to the first customs building by my own without them asking me if I need help. At this office the official called a fixer and my problem was that he didn’t speak a single word English and didn’t seem to know the process for getting the car inside the country which will leave towards turkey. So better get a fixer yourself. As my fixer was somehow confused I was not able to make a logical red line out of the procedure but I think it is possible. If someone would write it down I think following travelers could cross this border without a fixer.
4. You have to pay 100$ and its also possible to get an insurance at the border. Both bureaus are visible from outside the container due to signs. But the fixer will bring you anyway. In the 100$-office someone exchanged money for me for a really good rate.
5. After 3 hours the fixer was finished and he got 15$ from me. You get some additional copies and documents. They ripped of the Kuwaiti stamped down part slip of the Carnet.
6. Drive to the exit. Here you have to give the small slip with vehicle number to the guy and the copy of the carnet to the next guy and then you are free. The second copy of Carnet you have to keep until exiting to turkey. You need it for peshmerga checkpoint when entering Iraqi Kurdistan too.

Italian passport. Crossing from Kuwait to Iraq. I crossed the border WITHOUT a car or motorcycle and WITHOUT the green permit that others travellers reported necessary. I and other foot passengers (all locals) had to take a local bus across the border (2 KWD) but the procedures were fairly straightforward. It is possible that the green permits is still required for those with a car or motorcycle, but based on my experience this is not the case for foot travellers. So good news, you don't need to go to Kuwait Airport to get it. You can come all the way to the border. Iraqi side straightforward too. I paid 77$ for visa on arrival. All good.

Going from Iraq to Kuwait.
The iraqi side was very chaotic (similar to the Shalamcheh border). Many container offices are scattered all over the muddy area. You have to collect a stamp here, a copy there… no system at all and very confusing. We had to pay a exit fee of 10$ (we got a receipt). Everybody seemed very unmotivated. Only after several times asking they stamped out our Carnet. But with the help of a fixer we managed to leave Iraq after about 1 hour.
Entering Kuwait was easy and straightforward. At the arrival hall they will stamp your passport and do the visa (we applied for the e visa some days before). At the customs they will do your Carnet (but they do it different than in the other countries). At the customs the car and baggage has to go through a x-ray (costs 6$). We had to empty the car COMPLETELY! But we heard that many travelers don‘t have to do that. Maybe we were just unlucky that day. The kuwaiti side took us 3 hours.
Everybody was very friendly and spoke very good english.
In Kuwait City you can then do a car insurance, buy sim cards, change money ect…
