As global travel and public health restrictions imposed as a result of Coronavirus (COVID-19) have started to lift, UKVI began a phased approach to resuming visa services overseas from 1 June, where local conditions allowed and it was safe to do so. We have worked closely with our commercial partners to ensure visa application centres (VACs) can reopen safely and customers and staff are protected and have now reopened over 130 VACs globally.

The VAC in Tehran is in the next phase and is scheduled to reopen on Sunday 26 July, with new appointments being made available from 20 July.
