Get Tips and Info on Life in Iraq from Japanese Expats

Being an expat in Iraq means much more than packing your belongings and taking care of paperwork. Keeping in touch with your Japanese compatriots is a big part of the expat experience and can help you understand the Iraqi people and their culture better. With InterNations, meeting other Japanese in Iraq is a breeze, no matter if you are in Mosul, Baghdad, Basra or any other expat magnet across the country. Just take our network of Japanese in Baghdad, for example.

If you are in the mood to speak your mother tongue again, to learn about the best spots to shop for Japanese food, or to discuss your favorite sports team’s latest match, join the Japanese InterNations Community:

  • In our huge expat network, you can easily find like-minded expatriates from Japan.
  • Our Iraq Expat Forums are a great place to share experiences and advice – for example how to find a nanny speaking your language or where to get sushi and sashimi in Baghdad...
  • The InterNations Places database for Iraq helps you find institutions like the nearest Japanese embassy.

From the fertile, settled lands of former Mesopotamia to the small coastline bordering the Persian Gulf, we’ll get you in touch with helpful and friendly Japanese expats in Iraq.

Looking for a weekend getaway? Simply join one of our expat excursions with a group of fellow Japanese in Baghdad and discover the vast Iraqi desert, Lower Mesopotamia, the cradle of ancient civilizations, and other impressive landmarks across Iraq.
