Carnet de Passages when entering Iran via Turkey

Carnet de Passages when entering Iran via Turkey - Interior of a Historic Building with Cafe

We attempt to drive into Iran from Turkey via Bazargan border. We hold the Lithuanian citizenship and have a valid visa for the Iran. We passed the Turkey control and are currently stuck between the border of Turkey and Iran.

We hear and read so many different opinions regarding entering Iran with a car. We perfectly understand, that this can be done by "fixers" at the border, but the price is around $500, so obviously we want to attempt to do it cheaper than that. Can someone clarify the following:

  • Is Carnet de Passage required for the citizens of European Union?
  • Is it possible to organize Carnet de Passage on our own? If so, is it correct that much bigger amount of money will be required as a deposit?
