Iran has a really tough situation regarding the matter, though in recent years its strict laws are gradually fading away.
The most simple legal solution is for you to marry her (more of an arrangement between you two to avoid the problems).
It may seem pretty out of hand for you at first. But marriage has a
simple and routine process and it barely would take longer than an
hour for you to sign the documents and be done with it. In case of
later finding out you don’t want to continue your relationship she
can simply sign some papers and get a divorce. The process is nothing
close to what you have to go through in the western countries.
Pros:
Cons:
You can later on have a real marriage when you both made up your mind about it.
Book from local hosts maybe? Although, haven’t tried it myself while living there, I believe they have less restrictions.
Furthermore, going to the northern parts of Iran is definitely a good idea, if you intend to just see her (and not the country and its main tourist attractions) while in a more relaxed environment. Rasht (my hometown) is indeed famous for having the most open minded people in Iran; and you can somehow extend that to the other neighboring cities – Shiraz and Tehran are also doing well in ratings.
Back to my suggestion let me give you an example on how to hunt such places; if you drive from Rasht towards Anzali (or any other famous city in the Caspian Sea like: Ramsar, Kelardasht, Chalous, ..), you will often see people standing by the side of the street holding a board that says: Villas for rent – or you can find similar villas on the internet websites like these: 1, 2, 3; they are in Persian but I bet your girlfriend can help you with that – just bear in mind that you have to be more attentive renting a place in this way 🙂
