Iran Visa Application Form
Iran Visa Form
Use this form to request a tourism visa reference number for your Iran Visa on Arrival. Please fill in all fields exactly as they appear on your passport — accuracy is essential, as any discrepancy between your application and your travel documents can result in visa denial or entry refusal.
Processing time: Allow a minimum of 10 working days. Iran’s working week runs Saturday to Thursday — Fridays are public holidays and do not count. Last-minute applications within 5 working days may still be possible; contact us first and we will confirm whether it can be processed in time.
The information you submit will be sent directly to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Use proper capitalization throughout (e.g., John Wood, not john wood). Double-check every field before submitting — once the application is sent, corrections may not be possible.
Once you complete and submit the form, your visa application document will be automatically generated and forwarded to the relevant authorities.
Fields marked with * are required.
