This is a restriction on possession and transport as well as import, not simply a requirement to obtain permission before take-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not rely on the old claim that drones under <strong>300 grams<\/strong> can be brought into Iran or flown without authorisation. Article 21 does not provide that weight-based tourist exemption. A compact or camera-equipped consumer model should not be treated as exempt merely because it is small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The law is listed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/regulations.caa.ir\/rules\/view-document\/14772\/category\/0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iran Civil Aviation Organization\u2019s regulations register<\/a>. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/amagestate.com\/legal\/civilian-drones-regulation-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full Persian text<\/a> sets out the restrictions in Article 21 and the operating requirements in Article 8. Informal assurances from a seller, hotel or guide are not a substitute for the applicable law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-can-you-use-your-drone-in-iran\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-must-eligible-drone-operators-have\"><\/span>What Must Eligible Drone Operators Have?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Using-Drones-in-Iran.jpg\" alt=\"Drone hovering above open vegetation beneath a cloudy sky\" class=\"wp-image-84217\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Using-Drones-in-Iran.jpg 780w, https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Using-Drones-in-Iran-768x450.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Drone above open terrain.

These are separate requirements; approval to own a drone does not by itself authorise a particular flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The flight plan must cover the proposed time and area of operation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Article 8 specifically requires additional permission for flights in Tehran and Alborz provinces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Article 19 requires third-party liability insurance before a flight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These requirements do not remove the separate restrictions on foreign nationals in Article 21.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A commercial filming assignment is not a general exception for a visiting photographer. Before commissioning aerial work, establish who will lawfully own, hold and operate the equipment, and who is responsible for the flight approvals.
