Entry details
Holders of a Iraq passport need a visa obtained in advance when visiting Finland. The Iraq passport currently ranks #197 of 199 worldwide, with 31 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
Finland is middling in how freely it admits visitors, admitting 93 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #6 with 165 open destinations. Access is actually lopsided the other way — Finland citizens enter Iraq more easily (visa on arrival).
In the opposite direction, Finland citizens travelling to Iraq face: visa on arrival.
