Al Kamen reports for the Washington Post:

Seems U.S. government employees traveling to Iraq are being advised that they’re going to need “valid Iraqi visas” to enter the country.

“With the termination of the security agreement between” the Iraqi government and the U.S. military, the department announced Monday, “passports and valid Iraqi visas are required for all government personnel and contractors,” including TCNs, or third-country nationals.

The TCNs include a security force of about 5,000 and thousands more workers who cook, clean and provide medical care and other support services to the Americans there.
