Two Chinese diplomats and two local employees handled the visa applications. Applicants described the procedures as smooth.
"This is going to be my first visit to China. I am going to study Chinese language at Shandong University, and then I aspire to be a pilot and work in China," Zeyad Ismael, 23, told Xinhua as he waited in the queue.
"My expectations are high. I have looked for images of Shandong province on the internet and I like it. I expect good opportunities and a beautiful life," Ismael added.
Last year, the Chinese embassy received close to 20,000 visa applications, most of which were for business reasons.
In recent years, China has become a source for many goods imported to Iraq such as smartphones, electronics and automobiles.
Iraqi English teacher, Muqdad Salih, 38, speaks fluent Chinese as he studied the language in China in 2007. Now, he is on the way to China to work as an English teacher in China's Jiangxi province.
"Chinese New Year celebrations were beautiful and I was surprised by the atmosphere and friendliness of the Chinese people," Salih said.
