Important: Iran visa on arrival is NOT extended to 30 days yet! (February 2017)

Visas issued on arrival in Iran for tourists visiting the country are now valid for 30 days, said the director of the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts, and Tourism Organization.

Masoud Soltanifar further said, “So far, visas issued for foreign tourists at airports were valid for only 14 days.”

But in reality, this rule is not started yet. Be careful and if you have a plan for a stay in Iran longer than two weeks it is better to apply for e-Visa and come to the airport with your visa or visa reference number.

Iran Seeks, Iran Visa Waivers with 28 Countries:

Iran seeks reciprocal visa waiver programs with 28 countries as part of its bid to boost, inbound tourism, Director of Iranian Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHTO) Masoud Soltanifar says.
“We have selected 40 countries on the basis of our top priority for attracting tourists, out of which we have sent visa waiver requests to 28 countries and are following the issue through diplomatic channels,” he said in Isfahan. Moreover, the Foreign Ministry has been tasked with establishing electronic tourist visa facility known as e-visa which will lead “to a transformational change enabling everyone to apply for a tourist visa from their home”, Soltanifar added. The government has further approved extending stays for visa on arrival from 15 days to 30 days. “We are after canceling visa requirements with the countries which provide satisfactory provisions for passage to our citizens,” Soltanifar said.
