Work Permit

Dear All,
Does any one know how the process of getting work permit/work visa in Kurdistan is? I have heard that you have to enter Kurdistan with 10 days tourist \no visa(entry check)and in the mean time before reaching the end of 10 days you should see residential directorate /authorities in Kurdistan to issue your work permit considering your letter of invitation in your hand from a company in Kurdistan.
Is it correct?

Hi Mehdi,

I too would like to know how long it takes to get a work permit if you have a firm offer of employment from a company in Kurdistan.

Did you ever find out the answer.  The job I'm applying from wants people to already have a work permit.

Is it possible to get a work permit when you are not in the country and don't have a firm job offer?

Thanks so much for any information.  Needed as soon as possible!  :)
