Temporary Car Import Permit to Iran for Dual Citizens

 

If you hold Iranian citizenship along with another nationality and live abroad, and you plan to travel to Iran temporarily with your foreign-registered personal vehicle, we may assist you in obtaining a temporary vehicle entry permit.

Normally, entering Iran with a foreign vehicle requires obtaining a Carnet de Passages, which can be costly and often requires a financial guarantee of up to three times the vehicle’s value.

Through coordination with Iranian Customs authorities, Iran Tourism Center may assist eligible applicants in obtaining a temporary vehicle import permit for Iran.

Processing usually takes around one week (excluding public holidays). To avoid delays, we strongly recommend contacting us at least one month before your planned travel date.

Financial Guarantee Requirement

Applicants are generally required to provide a guarantee cheque payable to Iranian Customs, which will be handed to our designated representative.

Once the vehicle exits Iran and customs procedures are completed, the guarantee cheque is returned to the owner.

The guarantee amount is determined by Customs and may reach approximately three times the vehicle’s estimated value in Iran.

Permit fees vary depending on several factors, including:

  • Vehicle brand
  • Vehicle model
