→ United States visa for Iranian citizens
Due to current visa restrictions impacting passport holders from Iran, travel to the United States is not currently possible, irrespective of visa type or desired stay duration. This ban, in place since 2017, significantly impacts prospective travelers; while the standard processing fee for most US visas is typically $185, this is not applicable in this instance. If circumstances change, be aware that a direct flight between Tehran and New York can exceed 12 hours, and navigating the US requires familiarity with English as the primary language.
