Important Recommendation: Upon receiving your one-year residency / visa extension permit, students must check the validity of it and inform the Visa office for any incorrect information.

 

Please observe the following notice:

A. Students whose passports are near to their expiration date need to renew their passports via their countries' embassy in Tehran, and then proceed with obtaining the residency extension stamp with their already expired passport. Students whose countries do not have an embassy in Iran need to refer the Visa and Consular Affairs office at TUMS Directorate of International Affairs and Development, for consultation and further information.

B. In case you proceed with renewing your passport in your country of citizenship during your trip, you must have your old passport, containing previous residency stamps and student visa, with you in order to be able to return to Iran. In order to transfer all legal permissions from your old passport to your new one, Please refer to the Visa and Consular Affairs office, at the address below, for consultation and further information immediately after your arrival to Iran.

 

Important note: Incident insurance coverage is required for all International students on TUMS and other higher education institutions in Iran. International students can apply for accident insurance by purchasing electronic accident insurance through the online system. The Hayat-e-Amn Insurance Company is available at www.hayateamn.ir and the provision of consular services to International students will be subject to the issuance of an accident insurance policy.
