Temporary vehicle import to Iran
A visa and a vehicle are different law: the person and the car are given their terms by different authorities, and those terms need not match.
- Maximum term
- 90
- How the term is counted
- together with the driver’s stay
- Carnet de Passages
- Required
- Extension
- Possible
Tourists, foreign passengers or Iranians residing abroad (meeting the residence condition) may temporarily import a private vehicle for up to 3 months; this period is tied to visa duration and Carnet validity. The TACI and customs sources specify that a Carnet de Passage is required for foreigners, unless a temporary admission license is issued at the frontier against a deposit or bank guarantee.
Passengers mentioned above can use their automobile inside Iran at most for 3 months and it is possible for them to exit and enter the country via allowed borders several times.
