A press visa is required by foreign journalists who wish to travel to Iran on business. Applications for press visas must be made to the dedicated Press Section of the embassy.

Alternatively, you can use an Iranian Visa Service which specializes in Press Visas and Media Services. Often they will be able to arrange a press visa for you at short notice, without the need for you to attend an interview. As well as supplying press visas, they can provide a range of media services. They can obtain all permissions for any aspect of making programs within Iran, be it TV documentaries, radio or newspaper articles. They can also access film archives and arrange interviews at any level.

If your visa request accepted, you will then need to take your passport to the consular section of the embassy for them to stamp your visa into your passport.
