How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    French ordinary passports: Iran preapproved arrival visitor visa

    Current French government guidance expressly includes France among nationalities that may obtain a short-stay private-travel visa at certain Iranian airports after online preregistration.

    • Complete the required online preregistration and present its printed proof on arrival. The visa is issued at specified airports, so the route is preapproved arrival issuance, not an electronically issued visa.
    • This route is limited to short private travel and requires an ordinary passport; the source expressly excludes diplomatic and service passports. Embassy visa processing, work, residence, transit, carrier checks and final admission remain separate.
