An immigration executive in Iraq earns about 33,360,800 IQD a year. That's 36% above the national average of 24,599,500 IQD.
Pay ranges widely from country to country and from role to role. The lowest reported salaries in Iraq sit around 15,719,900 IQD a year, while the very top stretches to 52,681,700 IQD. Everything on this page is in Iraqi dinar (IQD, symbol ع.د), which lets you compare numbers like-for-like without worrying about exchange rates.
The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay. Most reported salaries include the benefits that are common in Iraq, such as housing or transport allowances, which is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing against a country where those are usually paid on top.
How much does an immigration executive make in Iraq?
A typical immigration executive working in Iraq brings home around 2,780,066 IQD a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 15,719,900 IQD, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 52,681,700 IQD for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.
The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior immigration executive working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.
How immigration executive pay ranges in Iraq
A good way to think about salary in Iraq is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all immigration executives in Iraq earn less than 35,398,900 IQD a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".
Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 22,918,100 IQD (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 46,680,900 IQD (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of immigration executives sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.
The very lowest reported salaries sit around 15,719,900 IQD. The highest stretch to 52,681,700 IQD, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.
Immigration executive pay by experience in Iraq
Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an immigration executive in Iraq, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical immigration executive salary changes as you move through the career ladder.
- 0-2 Years18,121,700 IQD
- 2-5 Years+38% from previous24,958,800 IQD
- 5-10 Years+42% from previous35,521,100 IQD
- 10-15 Years+22% from previous43,198,900 IQD
- 15-20 Years+6% from previous45,719,900 IQD
- 20+ Years+9% from previous49,678,100 IQD
The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 42%. That is the point at which a immigration executive typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.
Immigration executive pay by education in Iraq
Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving immigration executive pay in Iraq. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

- Master's Degree+39% from previous47,519,800 IQD
Immigration executive gender pay gap in Iraq
The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Iraq is no exception. Male immigration executives in Iraq earn an average of 36,240,700 IQD a year, while female immigration executives earn around 31,081,900 IQD. That works out to a 17% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.
A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Immigration executive bonus rates in Iraq
Bonuses are the other half of total compensation, and they vary a lot between jobs and industries. Some roles are paid almost entirely in base salary; others lean heavily on bonus structures tied to revenue, project completion or company performance. Whether a job pays a bonus, how big it is, and how often it lands all factor into whether the headline salary is actually a good offer.
