Iraq Jobs 2025–26 for Pakistani Workers: New Work Visa Opportunities Announced

Pakistan and Iraq continue to strengthen their labour and trade ties, and the year 2025 brings good news for Pakistani job-seekers. The Iraqi job market has once again opened up thousands of new employment opportunities across the construction, oil & gas, and security sectors. With smoother visa processing and growing demand for skilled manpower, Falisha Manpower is ready to connect Pakistani workers to verified, high-paying jobs in Iraq.

Why Iraq Is a Growing Job Destination in 2025

After years of redevelopment, Iraq’s economy is witnessing strong recovery. The government’s new national infrastructure plan includes large-scale projects such as:

• Oil-refinery expansion and maintenance contracts
• Road and bridge construction in major provinces
• Security and facility-management projects for foreign missions and private companies
• Hospital and school rehabilitation projects

These initiatives have created a sustained demand for skilled and semi-skilled workers, particularly from trusted manpower sources such as Pakistan.

Good News for Pakistani Job-Seekers

According to the latest overseas-employment data, Iraq has formally requested an increase in Pakistan’s manpower quota for 2026. This means that more Pakistani workers will be issued employment visas through legal recruitment agencies.

Key highlights include:

• Simplified visa procedures: coordination between Pakistan’s Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and the Iraqi Embassy now allows faster visa processing.
• Better job categories: opportunities for electricians, heavy-equipment operators, masons, security guards, welders, engineers, and supervisors.
• Safe and legal deployment: through licensed agencies only, ensuring proper contracts and verified employers.
• Attractive salaries and benefits: many Iraqi companies now provide housing, medical insurance, and travel allowance.
