My boyfriend is in Iraq right now.?

Question

He's coming to Japan to see me in couple of month, but he doesn't have a passport. Is that possible to get a new passport from Iraq?If so, where he needs to go to get it?How long does it take?

Answer 1

Don't think that he needs one, he is in the military

Answer 2

He will need a passport. The only way he will not need a passport is if he is already stationed in Japan and is serving in Iraq. Otherwise he should go to the local Personnel Services Battalion (PSB) and apply through them. IT is going to take them awhile to get the passport though. He will need to get his leave approved from his Battalion Commander though as he will be traveling to a foreign country.

Answer 3

this was taken directly off the site:

Military/SOFA Travelers
While active-duty U.S. military personnel may enter Japan under the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with proper Department of Defense (DOD) identification and travel orders, all SOFA family members, civilian employees and contractors must have a valid passport and, in some cases, a SOFA visa to enter Japan. Active-duty military personnel should obtain a tourist passport prior to leaving the United States to accommodate off-duty travel elsewhere in Asia as obtaining one while in Japan can take several weeks. Personnel whose duties will include official travel should also obtain an Official Passport before coming to Japan to avoid delays of up to two months, as from overseas these applications must be referred to a special office in Washington, adding to processing times. DOD travelers should consult the DOD Foreign Clearance Guide, DOD 4500.54, http://www.fcg.pentagon.mil, before leaving the United States.

Answer 4
