Verified practical details
You'll need to apply for a visa at a consulate or embassy before travelling. Here are the practical details we've verified:
Authorisation system
Visa with online pre-application
A visa valid for the whole stay is required. Iran stopped issuing visas at the border during the pandemic and has not officially announced their return; in any case an online pre-application must be made first, and the authorities may admit or refuse entry. Non-tourist trips (work, study, sport, journalism) and diplomatic or service passports need a visa from the Iranian Embassy in the country of residence, with prior authorisations that lengthen the process.
Required documents
- Passport with more than six months' validity and no Israeli visas or stamps: with them, entry is refused.
- Visa pre-application made on the official website before travel.
- Minors travel with a passport, visa and parental permission.
Transit rules
Iran does not recognise dual nationality, according to the UK Government. Anyone transiting through Iran to another country must already hold that country's visas.
