Public Announcement: New Online Visitor Visa Appointment System for Residents of Iran
Effective immediately, the Consulate General of the United States of America in Dubai, UAE is pleased to announce that residents of Iran may schedule a visa appointment online at: https://evisaforms.state.gov/default.asp?postcode=DB2&appcode=3. For specific instructions on scheduling an appointment for a visa interview please visit our website at: http://dubai.usconsulate.gov.
Only residents of Iran may make an appointment using the noted website (https://evisaforms.state.gov/default.asp?postcode=DB2&appcode=3); this website is, to repeat, reserved for persons who are physically resident in Iran. Cancelled appointments will NOT be available for rebooking. This means that once an appointment slot is reserved it will NOT be available again. The Consulate General will monitor the online system and will stop scheduling appointments if fraudulent use of the online system is detected.
UAE residents of any nationality should continue to schedule visa appointments online at: https://evisaforms.state.gov/default.asp?postcode=DUB&appcode=3. Applicants resident in the UAE also may read specific instructions for scheduling an appointment for a visa interview by visiting our website at: http://dubai.usconsulate.gov.
The U.S. Consulate General reminds all visa applicants that there is NO/NO additional fee to schedule an appointment, and visa applicants should not pay any company or entity to schedule an appointment. All visa applicants pay a one-time, nonrefundable fee of $131 for the visa application itself. This fee is payable exclusively through designated branches of the National Bank of Abu Dhabi. Please see our website for designated branch locations.
