Is kurdistan a country or a city?

It is neither.Kurdistan is a term applied to regions of southeast Turkey, northeast Syria, northern Iraq, and northwest Iran in reference to the Kurdish ethnic majority who live on that land. The Kurds, by and large, want independence from their host nations and to create an independent republic on these majority Kurdish lands. The closest to this are the Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistans which have become de facto independent as a result of the Iraqi Civil War (between the government and ISIL) and the Syrian Civil War.

How do you go tour Kurdistan?

In the case of Turkish and Iranian Kurdistan, you get VISAS to those nations and then proceed to go to the Kurdish-majority regions. In the case of Iraqi Kurdistan, you get a special VISA to visit Iraqi Kurdistan from the Iraqi Embassy or upon arrival in Iraqi Kurdistan (if you are a national from certain countries and are arriving in Iraqi Kurdistan from somewhere other than Iraq). In the case of Syrian Kurdistan, it is currently STRONGLY discouraged to go to Syrian Kurdistan. Although it is among the safest areas in Syria, that is not saying much.

Why is there war in Kurdistan?

The wars going on Kurdistan are more connected to those going on in their host countries. For example, the problems in Iraqi Kurdistan are traceable to the Iraqi Insurgency in the wake of the Iraq War of 2003-2011. The problems in Syrian Kurdistan are traceable to the Syrian Civil War, which started in 2011 and is only escalating.


How can you have a Kurdistan visa?

Kurdistan is not an independent nation, it is rather a name used to classify an area which is mainly inhabited by Kurds. Since it is not a country or nation there is no requirement for a visa to visit that area. Apply for a visa of the nation(s) that you are visiting. The one exception to the above is for Iraqi Kurdistan, which, because of its relative autonomy, has a VISA system that is distinct from the Iraqi VISA system. Depending on your nation of origin, you may be able to get a VISA-on-arrival or you may need to apply for an Iraqi Kurdistan VISA from your local Iraqi Embassy.
