What we could not confirm
- The revised lists take effect 15 days after Royal Gazette publication; the EY alert gives neither the lists nor a publication date and does not mention Iran.
- The 60-day/$40 e-visa figures come from Wikipedia; no official Thai source was found.

How to apply: Reported: Thai e-visa (60 days, about $40), handled via the Thai embassy in Tehran or the embassy of your country of residence; Iran is not on the visa-on-arrival list.

Plan the trip
Before you book
- Your passport should be valid for at least six months after the trip; many borders refuse less.
- Exit tax is paid before leaving Iran; the amount depends on how many trips you made this year.
- Iranian bank cards do not work abroad: plan cash or a card from outside Iran.
