Other insurers excluded the areas we were working in — insuranceforgroup.com understood exactly what we needed.

Essential Insurance for IraqIncluding Baghdad, Mosul, Erbil, Basra, Kirkuk, Fallujah, Najaf, and the border regions with Syria, Turkey and Iran and other high-risk or politically sensitive areas.

While some parts of Iraq – such as Erbil, Baghdad and Najaf – offer greater stability and rich cultural heritage, other regions pose serious challenges for those travelling or working there. Areas near border zones, including parts of Nineveh, Diyala, Kirkuk and Anbar provinces, are often affected by political tensions, armed conflict, and movement restrictions.

Many regions in Iraq present significant operational risks. These can include limited medical infrastructure, restricted communication networks, civil unrest, and tight government controls – particularly in border areas with Syria, Iran, and Turkey.

Whether you’re a journalist, NGO worker, engineer, or consultant, our role is to help you stay protected, well-informed, and focused on your mission – wherever your work in Iraq takes you.

We also cover areas of Western, Middle and Southern Asia such as:
