Iranians abroad or Iranian diaspora refers to Iranian people living outside Iran.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
According to various sources, in 2010, there were an estimated 2 to 3 million Iranians living abroad, mostly in North America, Europe, Persian Gulf States, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Australia and the broader Middle East.[9][10] Others estimate a lower number, of around 1.5 million or less.[11] Many Iranians emigrated after the Iranian Revolution in 1979.[12] On 2021 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran published new statistics showing that 4,037,258 Iranians are currently living abroad.[13][14]

Socioeconomic status[]
Iranians are often well-educated. Iranian-Americans are among the most highly educated in the United States. Nearly 60 percent have earned at least an undergraduate degree and also have one of the highest rates of self-employment among immigrant groups. Many have founded their own companies, including Isaac Larian, the founder of MGA Entertainment, a manufacturer of children’s toys and games and consumer electronics. Pierre Omidyar founded eBay in 1995 in San Jose, California is also an American with Iranian ancestry. Iranian households earn on average $87,288 annually, and are ranked ninth by income.[26]
Students abroad[]
According to the Iranian government, 55,686 Iranian students were studying abroad in 2013.[27] Out of this number, 8,883 students were studying in Malaysia, 7,341 in the United States, 5,638 in Canada, 3,504 in Germany, 3,364 in Turkey, 3,228 in Britain, and the rest in other countries.[28][29] According to an estimate by the Iranian Ministry of Education, between 350,000 and 500,000 Iranians were studying outside Iran as of 2014.[30]

Economics[]
Their combined net worth is $1.3 trillion (2006 est.)[31][32] In 2000, the Iran Press Service reported that Iranian expatriates had invested between $200 and $400 billion in the United States, Europe, and China, but almost nothing in Iran.[10] In Dubai, Iranian expatriates have invested an estimated $200 billion (2006).[33] Migrant Iranian workers abroad remitted less than two billion dollars home in 2006.[34]

Expatriate fund[]
The government has proposed setting up a joint investment fund with $5 billion in basic capital and an economic union to serve Iranians living abroad. The stated goal is to attract investment from Iranian expatriates and to use their experience in stimulating foreign investments.[48] Later, in 2010, it was announced that Iran will start the process by creating a national fund with a basic capital of eight million euros. This fund will later transform into a bank.[citation needed]
The currency used in the fund is the euro and investors are supported by the Organization for Investment, Economic and Technical Assistance of Iran. Iran will pay a guaranteed 10 percent interest on foreign investment.[49] The value of each share in the fund is 1,000 euros. The minimum and the maximum investment amounts are 100,000 and 500,000 shares [sic], respectively.[49]
Religious affiliation[]
Iranians are predominantly Shia Muslims. A number of Iranians have converted to Christianity in the diaspora from the predominant Shia Islam.[citation needed] While this group accounts for rather a small percentage of the total diaspora population, it is now far from marginal,[citation needed] with dozens of Iranian churches existing throughout countries with significant Iranian communities, including the United States, Canada,[50] the United Kingdom,[51] Sweden, and Germany.[52] There also notable groups of Baháʼí, Jewish, and Zoroastrian Iranians.
A significant number of Iranians abroad are irreligious, Agnostic and Atheist.[53][54][55] While reliable statistics are difficult to come by, it is safe to say that the percentage of irreligious Iranians is significantly higher in the diaspora than in Iran, particularly with regard to Iranian-Americans and those living in Europe and Canada.[56]
Notes[]
[note 1] The Iranian citizens abroad (scope of this article) differ from the other Iranian peoples living in other areas of Greater Iran, who are members of the same ethno-linguistic family, speaking languages belonging to the Iranian languages (a branch of Indo-European languages). There are an estimated 150 to 200 million native speakers of Iranian languages (including 80 million in Iran as of 2016), the five major groups of Persians, Lurs, Pashtuns, Kurds and Baloch accounting for about 90% of this number.[57] Currently, most of these Iranian people live in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, parts of Uzbekistan (especially Samarkand and Bukhara), the Caucasus (Ossetia and Azerbaijan) and the Kurdish areas (referred to as Kurdistan) of Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Smaller groups of Iranian people can also be found in western China. Due to recent migrations, there are also large communities of speakers of Iranian languages in Europe, the Americas and Israel.[citation needed]
[note 2] In some countries naturalized citizens, dual citizens, or children with only one Iranian/foreign-born parent are counted (for statistical purposes) as citizens/nationals of the host country only (i.e. citizen of the country of residence). For example all naturalized Swiss citizens have a legal "Swiss origin" even though it is often not the same as their place of birth. Country statistics (by national origin) generally exclude illegal immigration.
[note 3] Same as "Iranian-born" but includes their children born abroad.
[note 4] Iranian ancestry (i.e. second or third generation), not necessarily Iranian citizenship.
[note 5] In the period from 1961 to 2005, the United States has been the main destination of Iranian emigrants. A total of 378,995 Iranians have immigrated to the United States in that period, where the major concentrations of Iranian immigrants are California (158,613 Iran-born in 2000),[58] New York state (17,323),[58] Texas (15,581),[58] Virginia (10,889),[58] and Maryland (9,733)[58] Los Angeles Metropolitan Area was estimated to be host to approximately 114,712 Iranian immigrants,[58] earning the Westwood area of LA the nickname Tehrangeles. In the case of the United States, the US Census Bureau's decennial census form does not offer a designation for individuals of Iranian descent. Consequently, it is estimated that only a fraction of the total number of Iranians are writing in their ancestry. The 2000 Census Bureau estimates that the Iranian-American community (including the US-born children of the Iranian foreign born) numbers around 330,000. However, studies using alternative statistical methods have estimated the actual number of Iranian Americans in the range of 691,000 to 1.2 million.[10][59]
