Entry and Exit Regulations
Similar to Iranian citizens, foreign nationals who intend to visit Kish
Island need not obtain an entry visa from the Iranian diplomatic
representatives abroad. Upon arrival in Kish, the immigration authorities
seal the passports of foreign nationals with a special stamp. This stamp
serves as an entry visa and is valid for two weeks, however, upon request by
the KFZO the validity of such permits can be extended for three months and
if necessary for another three months. Such permits are extendable for a
maximum period of 6 months and 14 days following which the foreign national
has to leave the Iranian territory and re-enter Kish if so desired. Foreign
nationals who visit Kish for business or tourism purposes and intend to
travel to the mainland Iran should submit their application to the office
representing Foreign Ministry stationed in Kish and obtain an entry visa.
The procedure for the issuance of an entry visa to the mainland Iran will
take no longer than 48 hours through which the special Kish entrance stamp
shall be replaced by an entry visa. Should the applicant submit his/her
application from outside Kish Island, an entry visa shall be issued for
him/her upon arrival in Kish airport where the foreign national is required
to contact the office of the Foreign Ministry stationed there and ask for
his/her entry visa to be issued.
Foreign nationals residing in Iran who wish to travel to Kish Island need no
entry visa and are just required to present their valid residence documents.
