If you experience any issues along the way, please note the error message and at what stage you experienced the error. Please reply anytime if something is confusing. 

I’m not sure what you mean? When Apple Pay is supported by a country it’s usually a combination of local banks not wanting to support the infrastructure required locally for Apple Pay to work and government banking regulations that are not in agreement.

What do you mean it won’t open? When you tap on the Wallet app what does or doesn’t happen?

That’s your issue. Currently, Iraq does not support Apple Pay. Sorry. 😞
