U.S. passport holders applying for an Iranian tourist visa need to distinguish the online application, its assessment and final visa issuance. This guide focuses on tourist applications and the published Washington consular procedure. Family, work, study and dual-nationality cases require their own instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs e-visa portal<\/a> and the Washington Interests Section\u2019s Form 101 instructions<\/a>. The latter is revised October 2025 and was reviewed for this article on 7 November 2026. It is a specific office\u2019s procedure, not a guarantee that a visa will be issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Application route:<\/strong> Washington\u2019s instructions require U.S., British and Canadian passport applications through a travel agency or an Iranian host. They cover applicants residing in the USA or Canada. The general portal\u2019s individual application link does not override that passport-specific instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contents<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
