In order to travel to Iran for tourism and general purposes
you need a tourist visa. There are two types of tourist visa for Iran:
1- Standard Tourist Visa
This visa is issued ahead of your travel date and you
received it at one of Iran’s embassies, consulates or mailed to you before your
planned departure to Iran. Good for those who like to plan ahead and make sure
everything is in order before boarding the airplane.
Procedure to
get a tourist visa to Iran in advance is as follows:
• You provide us with some basic information that Iranian
Foreign Ministry needs to have in order to accept your application. That can be
done by filling out Iran visa application form.
• We will do the needed paperwork, sponsorship add our
vouching/invitation letter to your application and then file it with Iran
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Visa Department. In effect you will come to Iran as
our sponsored guest.
• The MFAVD does its review, checks the records to make sure
everything is fine and then usually within 3-14 days (15-30days for British,
American and Canadian) they send us what is call as Visa Authorization Number.
This number is actually a reference number which basically tells us that you
got approved and now you can get your actual visa in the next step.
• We send your Visa Authorization Number to you by email. You
print it out and contact the embassy or consulate where you had initially
indicated that you want to pick your visa from.
• This is the rule for the American, British and Canadian
passport holders: they must be joined in
a guided tour package. The agency which applies for their visas must arrange
the authorized tour guide, fixed hotels, itinerary and any other services that
they need during their travel.
2- Iran Visa On Arrival (VOA) or Iran airport visa:
This visa which is granted in 5 International airports may
seem like the easiest way to receive Iran visa but for the following reasons
our incoming staff with years of experience strongly unqualified this type of
visa.
• A 10 % possibility of visa rejection always exists.
• Your airline may not let you board the plane without a visa
• Most likely you will have to stay long hours in the airport
for receiving this Iran visa.
