Iran Visa Information
Who needs a Iran visa?
Entry requirements for Iran depend on your nationality, the purpose of your trip and how long you plan to stay. Some travelers enter visa free for short visits while others need a visa or electronic authorization — check the current rules with this embassy or on the official Iran immigration portal before booking travel.
Long stays, work and study
