Arriving in Iran

Most foreign visitors need a visa. Citizens of countries on the visa-exempt list may enter without one, and others apply for an e-Visa on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal (evisa.mfa.ir) before travelling. Check the current list for your nationality before booking, as it has changed several times, most recently for India (from 22 November 2025) and Lebanon (from May 2026).
Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay. Dual Iranian citizens are treated as Iranian citizens on entry and must travel on an Iranian passport.
Citizens of the UK, US and Canada must book through an authorised Iranian travel agency and be escorted by an approved guide. Entry and transit are refused to Israeli citizens and to passport holders with evidence of travel to Israel.
Visitors may stay on Qeshm and Kish islands, both reached from Bandar Abbas region, for up to 14 days without a visa. Confirm the current rule with an Iranian mission before relying on it.
