Islamabad:
Iraqi authorities have introduced new rules for pilgrims traveling to the country’s sacred religious places, having set specific age -related conditions for visa issuance.
According to the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, Iraq will no longer issue pilgrimage -visa to men under 50 if they travel alone.
However, men under the age of 50 are eligible to apply if accompanied by their families, he added.
The updated guidelines are for streamlining the pilgrimage and ensuring arranged arrangements for visitors to Iraq’s sacred shrines.
