Students from all nationalities must apply for a visa before travelling to Iran.
You should start your visa application process 3 months prior of your intended date of arrival. To
prevent any problems or delays in your application, you should make sure that you meet all
requirements and contact the nearest Iranian embassy, or consulate to find out how much time they
would require for issuing your visa once you have received a reference number.

REGISTRATION AS STUDENT (EXTENSION OF VISA)

Once you arrive in Tehran you must arrange with the international office to extend your student visa for the duration of your stay. For this process you will need four passport photos and the international office will help you complete the necessary forms.

OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT

If you wish to open a bank account you can easily do so by taking a copy of your passport (first page + entrance stamp and visa) to one of the banks, we recommend Mellat or Tejarat, both of which have branches operating within the campus. The bank will need 24 hours to receive a confirmation code.
This way you will have a debit card which can be used everywhere without the hassle and worry of carrying large sums of cash. Of course, like anywhere else in the world you can use an ATM to withdraw money whenever you need to.
Please note that the office of international affairs has a safe place in case you don’t want to convert all of your money at once and don’t have a safe place to keep it in.
Please remember that you can not receive cash from ATMs in Iran with your foreign card, therefore bring enough money to cover your expenses.
