Type T — Medical (Treatment) Visa

The Medical (Treatment) Visa, designated as the T-visa, was established to facilitate access to Iran's growing medical tourism sector. Regulated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this visa fills the gap for international patients seeking high-quality, cost-effective healthcare services—ranging from complex surgeries to specialized fertility treatments—that may be significantly more affordable than in their home countries. By streamlining the entry process for patients and their companions, it supports the integration of Iran's advanced medical infrastructure with international health needs.

This visa is intended for foreign nationals who have been formally accepted by a reputable medical center in Iran. Applicants must provide an official invitation letter from the hospital's International Patient Department (IPD) and medical documentation confirming the necessity of the treatment. It is distinctive because it offers an expedited application process and lower costs compared to standard entry visas, specifically catering to those traveling for medical procedures, wellness services, or traditional therapeutic treatments.
