Important: As of September 2026, some governments advise their citizens not to travel to Iran. Security conditions, borders, airspace and flights can change quickly. Read the current official advisory for your nationality before making your own travel decision.
Pre-departure checklist
- Passport: confirm the validity requirement that applies to your passport and itinerary.
- Visa: verify whether you need one and what process applies to your nationality.
- Travel advisory: read the latest official government advice for your citizenship.
- Insurance: confirm in writing whether your policy covers your destination and planned activities.
- Flights and borders: reconfirm operating status shortly before travel; disruption can occur at short notice.
- Money: prepare a realistic payment plan rather than assuming foreign cards will work normally.
- Local laws: understand dress, photography, alcohol, communications and other restrictions relevant to visitors.
- Contacts: keep your accommodation, guide, airline and emergency contacts available offline.
