Travelling to Iran?

Everything you need for Iran, sorted before you land: data, visa, insurance and lounges.

TRIP FILE DATA

Iran has Persepolis, Isfahan and one of the oldest cultures there is, and it also has sanctions that mean no foreign card works inside: you go with cash or you don’t go. Several countries advise against travel, and some warn their own nationals of the risk of detention. Read them first.

Travel notes for Iran

IR / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

Iran touches 7 countries by land, and that changes the planning: flying in and out of the same airport is a choice here, not an obligation.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

Skip roaming charges and airport-SIM queues: an Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and switches on the second you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 10 GB, valid up to 30 days. It runs on local networks, so there’s no bill shock when you get home.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

In Iran the calendar works the European way: July and August are the expensive, crowded part. November and February the cheap, cold one. The months in between are where the trick is.

MONEY

Paying your way

When a card machine or an ATM asks whether you want to pay in your own currency, say no: that’s dynamic currency conversion and the rate is always worse for you. Pay in the local currency every time, and leave the airport exchange desk as a last resort.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Check whether your destination wants an electronic authorisation before boarding: these are done online and can take days to come back. And always confirm with the country’s own official source, because these rules change without notice and guides go stale.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

Numbers are what get misunderstood most: prices, times, platform numbers. Have them written or typed rather than spoken, and repeat them back before you agree to anything.
