Iran visa for German citizens

For German passport holders, exploring Iran's ancient wonders and vibrant culture is readily accessible through an e-visa, permitting a stay of up to 30 days for tourist purposes. This single available visa type allows for deep immersion in destinations like Esfahan's Naqsh-e Jahan Square or the historical city of Shiraz. Many German visitors opt for direct flights from major hubs like Frankfurt to Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA), typically a journey of around four to five hours. While credit card usage is limited, travelers will find it relatively straightforward to exchange Euros for Iranian Rials upon arrival, ensuring a smooth experience exploring this fascinating country.
