His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank

Reference to your letter No. 5643/2/10 dated 7/5/2015 Regarding the financial amounts deposited by foreign investors for the purpose of obtaining residency permits.

We request your kind attention that the intent of our letters No. 10/1/1/Investment/50765 dated 3/3/2015 is merely to hold the amount in favor of the Minister of Interior, in addition to its function, while keeping that amount in the client's account and not releasing the hold except by an official letter issued by the Ministry of Interior, and not releasing the difference of previous deposits except in the case of annual residency renewal or its return, and relying on the latest correspondence received by you on this matter, and there is no need to open a deposit account at the bank in the name of the Ministry of Interior, noting that these instructions apply to all foreigners and not to Iraqi investors only.

We request your kind attention to review and instruct the necessary action.

Please accept our highest respect,

Salama Hammad
Minister of Interior
