Requirements to get Iran Travel Visa:

• 1 Passport (must have more than 6 months of validity left)

• 1 Application form

• 2-4 visa/passport size photos (not smaller than 1”x1.5” or 2.5cm x 3.8cm)

• Proof of medical travel insurance (including evacuation and repatriation coverage)

• MFA Authorization Number

• Visa fee

• Some embassies ask for 1 or 2 photocopies of your passport photo page

Payment:

• When we receive your visa form and are informed regarding all your requested services, we will arrange your invoice accordingly in which you can find the complete detail of our bank account.

• Please fax us a copy of the bank draft after transferring the amount of your invoice to our account. And please note that our financial department should have a copy of your bank draft before announcing you the visa reference number.

Please note the following points:

• The visa form information should be complete otherwise we do not take any action on that.

• Please select the city, where any Iranian Consulate exists, for getting your visa accurately. If you would change it in the middle of your visa process it takes another 3 weeks to change the application and make the visa reference number ready.

• When you go to Iran Embassy/Consulate to get your visa, they will charge you but it does not have anything to do with the cost of the visa process in Iran we have mentioned above. It is just the cost of visa stamp.

So to start your visa process we need your personal data as per the visa form and your bank draft. After receiving your information we apply online to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to get your visa approval number. Your visa will then be processed and if approved a authorization number will be faxed to the Iranian embassy you nominated to have it picked up at. Our office will then email you the authorization number so you can then pick up your visa. The authorization number means that your visa has been approved by the MFA but it is not the visa itself. Normal processing time by the MFA is 10-14 days and longer for passports from USA and UK.

If you need to change the embassy location after the approval is issued then advise us and we can get it reissued a the new location usually within a few days.

Picking up your visa at an Iranian embassy:

After you receive your authorization number you can apply in person or by mail at the nominated embassy or consulate. The actual processing time depends on the embassy and can be from 1-5 days. The visa is valid for 3 months from the date it is processed into your passport so don’t pick it up too early before you plan to travel to Iran.

Picking up your visa on arrival at an Iranian Airport:

Visas are available for pick up at Tehran International Airport on arrival for about 70 nationalities if this method is more convenient. We will prepare an authorization letter for you to give to the airline counter at check in. Once you arrive at the airport in Iran proceed to the Visa Office to have your visa issued. Note that these airport offices sometimes take 20-45 minutes to process your visa and if there is a large group waiting then sometimes longer. Proof of medical travel insurance is now compulsory and is available for sale from the immigration office at the airport.

As of Dec 2014 the following nationalities can NOT get Visa on Arrival anymore: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Colombia, India, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan, Somalia.

Note for American/Canadian/UK Passport holders:

• Processing for an Authorization number from the Ministry of Foreign affairs takes longer than other nationalities due to extra security processing that needs to take place

• USA/CAN/UK Passport holders MUST be on a group or individually booked tour of Iran as it requires a registered guide to be present at all times during the tour.

• Visas for American & Canadians can be issued at the Iranian Interest Section of the Pakistan Embassy in Washington, DC.
