Yes<\/strong>, drones are allowed in Iran, but with strict regulations in place. The country’s drone policy aims to strike a balance between encouraging tourism and maintaining national security. Since 2024<\/strong>, drone use in Iran is regulated by the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran<\/strong> (CAOI). It stipulates that it is essential to obtain the necessary permits before flying a drone in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, if your drone weighs more than 300 grams<\/strong>, a permit is required – this means that only lightweight drones, such as the DJI Spark, can be flown in Iran without authorization. Yet, even for smaller drones, general regulations still apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To bring a drone into Iran, you\u2019ll need permission from both the Ministry of Culture<\/strong> and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces<\/strong>. For that, you’ll be required to specify the times and locations where you plan to fly the drone. Furthermore, you\u2019ll need to include specific details about your drone, such as its weight, maximum altitude, flight radius, and maximum flight time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
