Iran suspends visa waiver for ordinary Indian passport holders
Iran suspended the visa waiver facility for ordinary Indian passport holders with effect from 22 November 2025, after incidents of Indian nationals being lured to Iran with false promises of employment or onward transit and then kidnapped for ransom. Indian nationals with ordinary passports now require a visa to enter or transit through Iran.
