الأهم

  • UK and Canadian authorities advise against all travel; arbitrary detention is a major risk.
  • Foreign bank cards do not work; arrange legal access to sufficient cash.
  • Women must observe enforced head-covering and dress rules.

الدخول والتأشيرات

Requirements depend on nationality. British citizens need a visa arranged well in advance and must travel on an organised tour or have a sponsor, according to the Iranian Embassy's advice to FCDO. Do not extend British-passport rules to other nationalities. Evidence of travel to Israel can cause refusal of entry.

صلاحية جواز السفر: British passports: at least six months after arrival and at visa application.
