This decision was made after a significant reduction in the number of fatalities caused by Corona in Iran, thanks to the government's extensive vaccination program.

What are the requirements for requesting an Iran tourist visa?

The first and the most crucial document for travelers to provide would be the proof of receiving both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, taken before boarding their flight, as well as evidence of a hotel booking.

Travelers can also provide a PCR test declaring that the result is negative.

The test for people above 12 years old must have been taken up to 96 hours prior to the flight.

It is also mandatory for tourists to fill a self-declaration medical form prior to their entry to Iran. They also have to obtain travel insurance which covers all coronavirus medical expenses.

Lastly, if a traveler's PCR test result proves positive during their stay in the country, they are required to quarantine themselves in designated accommodations until their test results come back negative. The test for travelers older than 12 years old must have been taken up to 96 hours before their flight.
