Electronic visa to Iran

The electronic visa to Iran, also known as e-Visa for Iran, is a simplified visa system that allows foreign nationals to apply for a visa online. It was introduced by the Iranian government in 2018. The e-Visa is available for all categories of non-immigrant visas - entry, tourist, work, medical, student and others.

The validity period of an e-Iran visa can vary depending on the type of visa and the purpose of the visit. Usually, the total validity period of the visa is 30 days, however, longer validity periods may be granted for some visa categories. The exact duration of the visa will be stated on the visa itself.

Travelers receive an approved electronic visa by email, which can be printed and presented with their passport when entering the country through one of the approved immigration checkpoints. This saves time by eliminating the need to stand in long visa queues on arrival or visit the Iranian Embassy to apply for a visa.
