To visit Kurdistan, you would need to obtain a valid visa or entry permit from the Kurdish regional government or the relevant authorities in Iraq, depending on the specific area you plan to visit. It is best to check the visa requirements and application process with the respective government offices or embassies to ensure a smooth entry into the region.
Erbil /Hawler/ is the largest city in kurdistan of Iraq
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.
Sanandaj is the capital of Eastern Kurdistan (occupied by Iran), Al-Qamishli is the capital of Western Kurdistan (occupied by Syria), Erbil (which the Kurds call "Hawler") is the Capital of Southern Kurdistan (occupied by Iraq) and Diyarbakir (which the Kurds call "Amed") is the capital of Northern Kurdistan (occupied by Turkey).
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.
Ofcourse :S kurdistan isn't as bad as the bloody media sets it out to be =] trust me i got every year

Iraqi Kurdistan continues to improve. Erbid (which the Kurds call Hawler) is a very beautiful and modern city. Across the Turkish border, the area is poorer, but still quite beautiful. It is recommended that you travel very safely if you go to Kurdistan because of the PKK and other types of unrest or violence.
