Travel Guide on Covid-19

Iran visa issuance resumed in late October 2021

By the order of the President, the issuance of tourist visas and the flow of foreign tourists from land and air borders were resumed from October 26, 2021, following 19 months of suspension and strict government measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Iran visitors must be vaccinated or COVID-free

Inbound passengers must provide proof of vaccination and a negative PCR test to enter Iran.

In line with the latest instructions of the Ministry of Health, all non-Iranian travelers older than 12 years of age entering the country must show a negative coronavirus PCR test result, issued at most 96 hours before arrival, along with a complete vaccination certificate.

Without a negative PCR test and a coronavirus vaccine certificate, a suspicious passenger will never be allowed to enter the country.

A negative COVID-19 test or vaccination certificate is also required for travelers who want to stay in accommodation centers including hotels, motels, guesthouses, and eco-lodge units.

Foreign tourists must buy COVID insurance

In addition to providing proof of vaccination or a mandatory negative PCR test certificate, international travelers visiting Iran must buy coronavirus insurance from authorized companies and if they suffer from the pandemic in Iran, they will be provided with a place and treatment for 14 days.

Coronavirus insurance differs from the routine insurance coverage purchased by all tourists before the coronavirus era.
