Yes, as a region, but not an independent country. 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.
While Kurdistan does not currently exist as an independent state, there are regions in Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Syria where many Kurds live. The idea of a unified Kurdish state called Kurdistan has been a long-standing aspiration among Kurdish populations in the Middle East.

Kurdistan - Estimated area of 74,000 to 151,000 sq. miles
Currently, Kurdistan is not a united country. As a result the different regions of Kurdistan are ruled differently. Only in Iraq do the Kurds have enough autonomy to have their own elected officials. Massoud Mustafa Barzani is the President of Iraqi Kurdistan.
Kurdistan is a roughly defined region in the Middle East that spans across parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. It is home to the Kurdish people who have their own distinct language and culture. The boundaries of Kurdistan are not officially recognized by any government.

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.
