Why buy it before you fly
Accepted where it’s checked
The certificate names Iran, which is what the embassy, the airport visa counter and the border look for. “Asia” or “worldwide” is not enough.
Skip the airport counter
No queue for a policy after a long flight, and no terms in a language you can’t read. Walk up to the visa counter with your certificate in hand.
Cover from a local insurer
Saman Insurance has hospitals, clinics and assistance across Iran, where many international insurers leave the country out altogether.
One policy for the party
Up to ten travellers, one payment, and a certificate for each — priced on their own age, with every price shown before you pay.
The policy at a glance
Visitors to Iran must hold medical insurance that names Iran for their whole stay. It is checked when the visa is collected — at an embassy or the airport — and again at the border.
Many international policies exclude Iran because of sanctions, so a local policy is usually the simplest way to be covered: it is written for foreign visitors, covers the whole country, and costs a fraction of an international one that names Iran.

What travellers say
“The consulate asked for proof of medical cover at the interview and the Termeh certificate was accepted without a question. Whole thing took ten minutes the night before.”
Laure MercierLyon · 14 days, Tehran to Yazd “I got food poisoning in Esfahan and needed a clinic. One call, they found somewhere nearby and settled the bill directly. I never paid anything up front.”
Daniel KochHamburg · 9 days, classic route “We insured four of us on one policy and moved the dates twice when flights changed. No fees, no arguing. That’s rarer than it should be.”
Amara SilvaLisbon · 21 days, family trip
Your Iran travel insurance questions, answered
Yes, almost everybody does. Medical cover that names Iran is checked when you collect your visa at an embassy or the airport, and again at the border. Arrive without it and you will be sent to buy a policy at the airport.
Citizens of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Lebanon, Malaysia, Oman, Syria, Turkey and Venezuela do not have to show insurance to enter, though cover is still worth having in case something goes wrong.
