  • Inadequate travel insurance.
  • Incomplete or incorrectly filled visa application forms at the port of entry.

  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: It is always advisable to check for any current travel advisories issued by your government regarding travel to Iran. As of recent information, there are no specific bilateral agreements that exempt Andorra citizens from visa requirements for Iran beyond the visa on arrival facility for tourism.
  • Extension options inside Iran: Visa extensions for tourist visas (those obtained on arrival) are possible in Iran but must be applied for at the local police and immigration department in major cities before the current visa expires. Extensions are not guaranteed and depend on immigration policies and individual circumstances.
