Iran Visa Requirement In Brief

  1. Iran Visa application form
  2. The scan of your passport
  3. A personnel photo
  4. Proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19

How does Iran Tourist Visa work through our Travel Agency?

There are several easy steps. In other words, you need to send us Iran Visa Requirements, to begin the process.

  1. Fill in our online visa application form.
  2. Then attach the scan of your current Passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your travel date.
  3. The third step, attach your personnel photograph in JPG format.
    The photo should be in color and clear. It also must be taken within the last 6 months, with a white background and in the full front view of the head.
    What is the best photo size; equals to or less than 500 Kb in 400 x 600 pixels (minimum)
  4. Certificate of Covid-19 vaccination at least two weeks after the second dose 
  5. Above all, if you are British, American and Canadian citizens, send us your CV (Curriculum Vitae) or Resume including your previous and current work and education history (please read the part related to Iran tourist visas for American, British, and Canadian citizens)
  6. And finally, pay us the agency service fee which is 15 Euro per applicant. This fee is obviously different from the service fee you need to pay at the embassy.
    Here you can find the Iran visa fee based on the applicant’s nationality.

How did these steps work?

As soon as we receive your Iran Visa Requirements including, the Iran visa application form, the scan of your passport main page, and your Personal picture; the visa department of our travel agency starts your visa process.
We submit a complete application on the Ministry website (except for British, Canadian, and American passport holders) in the first place.
The typical administrative processing time to get the authorization code from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is normally 3 to 7 working days.
Once we receive the authorization code, called the tracking code as well from MFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), we will send it to you. Then you can refer to your preferred embassy (the one you selected in your visa application form) within 25 days and collect your visa.
As each embassy has its own pickup policy, it is obviously necessary to contact the embassy beforehand.
At last, you have almost three months to enter Iran, after visa collection.

What is the maximum validity of an Iranian Visa?

The maximum validity of an Iran visa is 30 days, but it can be extended in Iran. You need to refer to the police officers of foreign aliens in cities such as Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Yazd, and Kerman.

How Much Is Our Service Fee for Iran Tourist Visa?

Our service fee for an Iran visa authorization code is 20 Euro per applicant but note that besides this amount, you need to pay another fee at the embassy as a visa fee. You will be charged differently based on your nationality for your Iran visa cost at embassies.

How to Get Iran Visa On Arrival?

Iran visa on arrival is appropriate for people who are out of time and from one of the eligible countries for an Iranian visa at the airport. Except for those countries listed below, you can choose this type of visa which is called Iran visa on arrival or Iran visa upon arrival.
The process is very simple.
You just fly to one of the Iranian international airports and ask for a visa on arrival directly. Normally you need to show your hotel booking as one of the Visa Requirements.
Passengers can also get the Iran visa authorization code in advance through an Iranian travel agency. Then collect the visa at the airport instead of the embassy. In that case, you don’t need any hotel booking voucher.
As a recommendation, due to the visa rejection possibility (count on 5%), it is certainly safer to have the visa trekking code in hand before your arrival even for this type of Iran visa.
And finally, the Iran visa on arrival validity is 30 days, but it can be extended at the Police office of foreign aliens in big cities for 15 more days.
At the airports below you can ask for an Iran visa on arrival:
• Imam Khomeini airport
