COVID-19: India travel restrictions reduced

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq reduced travel restrictions to and from India on Aug. 31.

Key Points:

• Foreign nationals who have visited India on or after July 1 may now enter the Kurdistan Region if they:

• • Present a negative PCR test and conduct an additional test upon arrival.
  • Quarantine for 14 days at a government determined location.

• All individuals traveling to or from India through the Kurdistan Region must pay for the PCR test and quarantine.

Additional Information: The KRG has yet to provide information on whether or not Indian nationals will be allowed to enter the region.
