Who can apply for an Iran e-visa?

Some people have heard that it is also possible to apply for an electronic visa to Iran, which provides great convenience for people to travel. Who can apply for an Iranian e-Visa?

According to the information released by the Iranian Embassy in China, since September 23, 2018, Iran has issued separate e-visas of entry (entry), tourist (tourism), family (family) and medical (medical) to Chinese citizens. Therefore, Chinese citizens can apply for electronic visas whether they are traveling to Iran, conducting medical activities, or engaging in commercial activities.

Moreover, Chinese citizens are given a separate electronic visa, and there will be no trace of Iranian visa on the passport, which will not affect the processing of other visas. Because some people worry that if they have an Iranian visa, they will be questioned when applying for a US visa, and even affect the US visa. However, that fear no longer exists.

Unlike other countries that have port restrictions on e-visa entry, the Iranian e-visa will be issued without any entry or exit stamp. In other words, holding an Iranian e-visa can go through entry formalities at 110 domestic and international airports in Iran. In terms of timeliness, there is no difference between Iran's e-visa and ordinary visa. It can be said that e-visa provides an opportunity for foreign tourists to visit Iran without any worries.

The process of applying for an Iranian electronic visa and the required materials are also relatively simple. Applicants also need to choose the appropriate visa type according to the purpose of entry.

When applying for an electronic visa, they only need to log in to the designated website, fill in the visa application form, submit the scanned copy of the private passport and the electronic photo, and after completing the payment, they can query the audit results within 10-12 working days. Under normal circumstances, the applicant can check out smoothly as long as the purpose of travel is clear, the information filled in is correct, and the submitted materials clearly meet the requirements.
