About Iran Transit Visa
Iranian transit visa is an official visa for travelers passing through Iran on their way to a third country. It is used when you do not have Iran as your final destination, but need to enter the country, change airports, continue with another means of transport or pass through Iran by land.
The transit visa is valid separately from tourist visas, business visas, and other visa types. It is not intended for extended stays, tourism, work, study, or family visits in Iran.
The application is registered through Iran's official e-Visa system and processed by the Iranian Embassy or the responsible Iranian authorities. The Embassy of Iran in Sweden states that transit visas are one of the visa types that can be applied for through the e-Visa system.
Swedish citizens may need a transit visa if they are going to travel through Iran and their journey means that they need to pass through the Iranian border control. The length of stay and the validity of the visa depend on the visa conditions and are decided by the Iranian authorities.
