Iran e-Visa: Basic Information

Iran e-Visa is an electronic alternative to the regular Iran visa introduced to help travelers in completing the visa application process in a much easier way.

Iran e-Visa comes in four different types; there are single and multiple-entry permits to choose from, each one differing in the validity period. Iran e-Visa holders can visit Iran for up to 30 days at a time for tourism, business, and transit purposes.

Travelers can apply online for an electronic visa to Iran with just a valid passport and a digital face photo! The application can be submitted within just a few minutes from home or any other place.

Applicants receive an Embassy Registration (Authorization Code) delivered straight to their email boxes once they have completed the 3-step application process online. After receiving the code, travelers must visit their nearest Embassy to collect the approved electronic visa.

Citizens from every country worldwide are free to submit an application for the Iran e-Visa and collect it at an Embassy.
