🇮🇷 Iran visa requirements for Angolan citizens

Entry rules for Angola passport holders
Angolan travelers can obtain their visa directly at the border or airport when arriving in Iran. Bring a passport with at least six months' validity, passport photos, and the visa fee (often payable only in cash). Lines can be long at peak times, so check whether Iran also offers an e-visa to skip the queue.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Iran immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
