1. Checkpoints - ensure that your visa for Iraq is in date! If your visa has been
expired, you will be arrested and deported. No other identification will work and
you will be arrested.
2. Movement Letters for the specific area. eg. Basra you do need a movement
letter. Amara also needs a movement letter. And when you moving into any
oilfield in Basra, the authorities will require a movement letter from the SOC.
3. Vehicle registration - Please ensure that your vehicle registration is in date and
the vehicle is registered. Also ensure that your driver has a valid drivers license.
4. Iraqi Police checkpoints - They require a movement letter from the Minister of
Interior for that specific area.
5. Iraqi Army checkpoints - Lately they are requesting a letter from the MOD,
however it's only in specific areas.
6. Lately the fixes and interpreters have little influence. Sometimes they are
arrested for trying to diffuse the situation. The Iraqi armed forces have taken over.
7. A smile and offering a coke or water is the best solution at some checkpoints.
The next time they see you, their attitude has changed. WARNING!!! Do not be
arrogant!! You will be arrested. Remember you are in his country.
8. Cameras - some checkpoints want to confiscate and some dont, so always try to
diffuse the situation with your Iraqi available.
