Corporate Immigration & Mobility
Deploying expatriate staff to Iraq involves a specific set of regulatory requirements that are more demanding and less predictable than most multinational employers expect. Work permit procedures, residency requirements, and visa compliance are administered across multiple Iraqi authorities, and the KRG operates a distinct immigration framework that applies separately within the Kurdistan Region. The consequences of non-compliance, for both the employer and the employee, are operationally disruptive and reputationally sensitive.
We handle the full process, from application through to obtainment, across work permits, residency registrations, and visas administered by Iraqi federal and KRG authorities.
