Iran tourist visa planning
For many international visitors, visa planning is one of the first steps in organizing an Iran itinerary. The exact process depends on nationality, passport status, purpose of travel and current entry rules. Some nationalities can face additional itinerary, sponsorship or guide requirements, so we confirm the travel profile before suggesting the next planning step.
How Iran Agency can assist
What to prepare before asking about a visa
Passport details
Tell us the nationality shown on the passport you intend to use and whether you hold another nationality. Do not send sensitive passport scans through an unsecured channel unless they are actually required.
Approximate travel dates
Provide an intended month or date range. Entry rules and transport availability can change, so flexible dates are useful during early planning.
Your preferred route
Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Yazd and Persepolis form a common cultural route, but a private itinerary can be adjusted around your interests and available time.
Confirm current official requirements
Before payment or departure, reconfirm visa, passport, insurance and security requirements with the appropriate authorities and your own government's travel advice.
Passport and entry considerations
Requirements are nationality-specific. Passport validity rules, previous travel history, dual nationality and the purpose of travel can affect entry. Never rely on an old blog post or a previous trip as proof that the same rules still apply today.
Visa assistance and a private Iran tour

Common questions
Does Iran Agency issue visas?
No. Visa decisions and entry permission are controlled by the relevant Iranian authorities. We can assist with travel planning and documentation coordination where applicable.
Can you tell me whether I need a visa?
Requirements depend on the passport you use and current rules. Tell us your nationality and travel plan, then verify the final requirement with the relevant Iranian diplomatic authority.
Should I book flights before the visa is confirmed?
Avoid making non-refundable commitments until you understand the current visa, entry and security situation applicable to you.
Can British, American or Canadian travelers use your planning service?
We can discuss trip-planning needs, but these nationalities can be subject to specific requirements and government travel warnings. Current official rules should be checked before making arrangements.
