Application Process
As per the regulations outlined by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Tourist visa is designed for foreign nationals intending to travel to Iran either independently or as part of a group for the purpose of visiting the country or meeting friends and relatives.
This visa allows a maximum stay of 30 days, with the option to extend while in Iran, and remains valid for a period of 3 months from the date of issue. Depending on your nationality and the consulate you choose, you can submit your documents and obtain a visa after a few days without requiring a reference from Iran or opt for the new e-visa system. However, applying outside your home country can be time-consuming and challenging.
In most cases, consulates usually mandate an authorization letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran, which is a pivotal requirement during the visa application process. Once you secure this authorization code, the subsequent steps are generally uncomplicated, and you can expect to receive your visa within a span of 1 or 2 days.
You may also apply for an Entry (Business) visa, which needs an invitation letter form your Iranian host, but keep in mind that traveling only with a tourist visa enables you to enjoy special tourist rates with hotels and etc.
Step 1 : Apply
Fill out the application form with accurate details, ensuring they match your passport information. This formal application will be sent to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, authorizing the consulate for visa issuance.
Step 2 : Payment
After submitting the application, you’ll receive a service bill and payment instructions. This charge is separate from the visa fee payable to the consulate during the stamping process (Step 4).
Step 3 : Receive
Once processed, you will receive an authorization letter, transmitted to the specified consulate. The letter includes the visa code and a visa grant notice valid for a month. You can request forwarding to another consulate for an additional charge.
Step 4 : Collect
With the reference code, visit the consulate with your passport (valid for the next 6 months), completed visa application form, 2 passport size photos, visa fee, and the authorization reference code. Confirm document requirements with the consulate, as they may vary. Mailing options may be available; contact the consulate for details.
