Andorra to Iran visa requirements

Andorran (AD) ordinary passport holders need a visa for Iran but can get it without visiting an embassy in person: apply for the Iran tourist eVisa online through the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal (evisa.mfa.ir). A 30-day visa-on-arrival (VOA) is also generally available at major airports for Andorran nationals (US/UK/Canada are excluded), but obtaining the eVisa in advance is the safer, recommended route. As of mid-2026, Andorra is not on Iran's visa-exemption list, so an Andorran ordinary passport holder requires a visa for tourism. The recommended channel is the electronic visa (eVisa) issued by Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs via its official portal evisa.mfa.ir. The applicant completes the online form, uploads a passport scan and photo, receives a visa grant notice by email after MFA approval, then either collects the visa through the chosen mission/route or presents a hard copy of the grant notice at the visa-on-arrival counter if using the VOA workflow. Iran is NOT in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Passport must be valid at least 6 months with blank pages, and Iran-valid travel medical insurance may be required at visa collection or entry. Travelers should understand the U.S. follow-on impact precisely: Andorra is a U.S. Visa Waiver Program country, but VWP restrictions can make travelers who have been present in Iran on or after 1 March 2011 ineligible to use ESTA/VWP absent a qualifying exception or waiver. Requesting a separate-sheet visa may avoid a visible passport stamp, but it does not remove the travel history for U.S. VWP purposes.

How to apply

/01

Apply online via the official MFA eVisa portal
Go to evisa.mfa.ir (evisatraveller.mfa.ir), choose Tourist visa, and complete the application with personal details, travel dates and an approximate itinerary/accommodation.

Second-pass review: re-verified the evidence chain against official sources; key facts confirmed and checked-date refreshed.

AD to Iran route verified
Confirmed Andorran ordinary passport holders need an Iran visa, best obtained as an eVisa via the official MFA portal; VOA also available. Verified post-Oct-2025 relaxation of the European guided-tour requirement against Iran visa policy sources.
2026-06-17 · major
Corrected Iran sources and U.S. VWP impact
Replaced secondary visa-policy sources with official Iran MFA and U.S. government sources, clarified that the VOA workflow requires a hardcopy grant notice at the airport, corrected the U.S. related note because Andorra is a Visa Waiver Program country, and added that Iran travel on or after 1 March 2011 can affect later ESTA/VWP eligibility regardless of passport stamp visibility.
