Which nationalities need to get Iranian tourist visa before traveling to Iran?

Citizens of some countries must fill out the Iran visa application form and obtain a coveted visa before traveling to Iran.

Indeed, there are not many such states - you can count them on the fingers of one hand. Moreover, despite the political situation, Iran welcomes everyone, but someone will have to stockpile time before Iran will start surprise you.

 

Is needed Iran visa application form for the USA, the UK & Canada’s citizens?

Some countries such as Canada, UK and the United States of America, cannot obtain a visa upon arrival (except for Germany, Bulgaria, Belguim, Italy, France, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and others). To be honest, applying for Iranian tourist visa is difficult and time-consuming process for US citizens to get the Iranian visa.

Citizens of these countries need to apply for a visa to Iran through the Iranian Embassy, which is in your state. You need to provide a package of documents, passport, and photos and tell about yourself reliable information in the interview.

Interestingly, British citizens have two types of visas. The first kind is quite easy, and any UK citizen with no English background can get a visa faster. The second type of tourist visa applies to all other people.

As for the citizens of Canada, you must use the consulate and go through the entire standard way of obtaining a permit. Besides, your Canadian passport must be valid for the next six months.

For those who have both Canadian and Iranian origin, entry into Iran is on an Iranian passport. The same applies to citizens of the United States of America.

You go to the embassy, apply along with the necessary documents. Next, you need to wait for a response (approving or not quite that) from the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

 

Is needed Iran visa application form for India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan’s citizens?

India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan also keep up with United States of America, Great Britain, and Canada. Owners of Indian, Pakistani and Afghan passports will not receive a visa upon arrival. You must take care of a tourist visa to Iran before traveling. These travelers need to apply for their visa before their trip to Iran.

The principle of action is the same. Collect your documents (passport and photo), pass an interview and expect a response from the host party.

If you are planning to visit Iran in the interests of business, then the host company in Iran should send you an invitation letter. If you need last minute invitation letter, Apochi.com can issue invitation letter for traveling to Iran.

And yes, if you have Iranian origin, then you can enter Iran only on an Iranian passport.
