Iran tourist visa is issued to foreign nationals who are interested in traveling to Iran individually or with a group for the purpose of visiting Iran or their relatives. The maximum duration to stay in Iran with a tourist visa is 30 days. Although it’s possible to extend it to 60 days, it is harder to add another 30 days to your visa.
You can try to get an Iran tourist visa by yourself, but using an agency is the safest and fastest way. We will apply for your visa whether you are planning to make your own arrangements or plan to take a tour with us.
Please note that visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler.
Note: Please, keep in mind that visa for Iran like all countries require passports to be valid for at least 6 months when the visa application is sent.
The Iran Visa Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Application charge: This is similar to the ESTA approval from the U.S. Homeland and Security.
While the MFA application may be waived if you are eligible to obtain a visa on arrival, this option may cost you a few more hours at the airport, the risk of refusal, plus an additional 25 Euro above the regular visa charge. So thats why tourists still prefer to receive the MFA approval number prior to arrival. The cost for the MFA Application generally ranges between 45 to 75 EUR (45 to 75 USD) and can be obtained from Iran travel agencies only, rather than the MFA itself.
Visa stamp fee: It is the actual charge for the visa stamp in your passport itself.
It is the consular fee which you pay directly to the Iranian embassy or consulate where you will collect your visa. The visa stamp fee is based on your applicants’ nationality from 30 Euro to 75 Euro.
