Arrival visa

China citizens with personal passports and round-trip air tickets can apply for landing tourist visas at Teheran, Shiraz, Tabrizi, Mashhad and other airports, with a stay time of 15 days, one photo and a handling fee of $50. However, it should be noted that it is very difficult to apply for extending the validity of the visa after arriving in Iran. Therefore, before you travel, you must consider in advance how long you need to stay in Iran. And sometimes there will be temporary policy changes, so it is best to apply for a visa in advance.

Remote visa

You can also apply for a tourist visa in Hong Kong. In Malaysia, you can also apply for a visa at the Iranian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. At the Iranian Consulate in Istanbul, China people can successfully apply for a tourist visa of 1 month, but they have to wait 10 working days. In addition, in Istanbul, Turkey and Delhi, India, it is the easiest to obtain a five-day transit visa for Iran, and then you can apply for an extension at the local police headquarters in Iran. At present, the police headquarters in Shiraz is the easiest to obtain an extended visa. Of course, these rules are as changeable as the weather.

Passengers who are skeptical about visa processing are advised to choose Mahan Airlines air ticket+visa service, the price is generally above 5,500 yuan, and there are occasional preferential activities below 5,000 yuan, which is cost-effective.
