✈️ Step-by-Step Guide to Get an Iran Visa

1. Choose the Type of Visa

Iran offers several types of visas depending on the purpose of your travel:

• Tourist Visa
• Business Visa
• Student Visa
• Family Visit Visa

Most travelers apply for a Tourist Visa.

2. Apply Online

Go to the official website of Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
👉 https://evisa.mfa.ir
Fill out the visa application form and upload your documents (passport scan, photo, travel info, etc.).

3. Receive Tracking Code

Once you submit your application, you’ll receive a tracking code. Keep it safe — you’ll need it to check your application status.

4. Wait for Approval

Your application will be reviewed. Once approved, you will receive an authorization letter which allows you to proceed with the visa issuance process.

5. Pay the Visa Fee

Visa fees must be paid either at the Iranian embassy/consulate or through other available channels (details below).

6. Get Your Visa

After payment, visit the embassy with your documents to have the visa stamped in your passport — or, in some cases, it may be issued electronically.

💳 How to Pay for an Iran Visa

The payment method depends on your country of residence:

🔹 1. Pay at the Embassy or Consulate

Most applicants pay the visa fee in cash (usually in USD or local currency) at the nearest Iranian embassy or consulate.

🔹 2. Pay via Exchange Agency or Travel Agent

If Iran doesn’t have an embassy in your country (e.g., the USA, Canada, or the UK), you may need to use a licensed travel agency or money exchange office to handle payment on your behalf.

🔹 3. Online Payment (Limited Availability)

Some nationalities may have access to online payment gateways via the eVisa portal, but this feature is not available in all countries.

✅ Final Tips

• Always double-check requirements with the Iranian embassy or consulate in your country.
