Tourist Visa

Any person, but the exceptions mentioned earlier, is granted a tourist visa if they intend to travel in Iran or to visit family and friends under the regulations of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The length of a tourist visa is 30 days which is expendable in Iran. The visa expires after 3 months passes the date of issue.

There is no need for any reference from Iran, depending on your nationality and the referred consulate, to apply for a visa and submit your documents and receive it. But sometimes your efforts could be futile especially if you are applying out of your country. It is due to the fact that most consulates need an authorization letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran. When you acquire this letter, you have literally passed the hard part and there isn’t much left to do. Normally it takes 1 or 2 days to gain your visa after having your visa code.

** Almost all nationalities except Israeli nationals can get a visa to visit Iran. American, Canadian, British nationals need to be included in a guided tour in order to be granted a visa, but any other nationality can travel to Iran without the need for being in a tour or even any reservations ahead of time.

Our service is providing this authorization to the applicants.

THE 7 STEPS IN DETAIL :

Step 1: Filling the Form

The consulate is granted the permission to issue a visa for you when the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs receives a formal application which is based on your submitted data. You have to be extra careful when submitting your detailed information since they have to match your passport and documents details and they will be sent to the consulate to collect the visa.

Step 2: confirming the application

A confirmation email will be sent when your application is received so that you assure your application has been successfully received and also recheck your details. Your application is simultaneously being submitted to MFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs). You are expected to inform us if you don’t get this email in 24 hours.

Step 4: receiving the authorization code

At the end the result is the authorization letter which will be sent to the consulate you have included in your form. In order to collect your visa, you are given a reference code to your letter which is called “Visa Authorization Code”. Each code is only acceptable to the consulate it has been issued for, and it expires in 3 months. It is possible to change the consulate with an extra charge if you ask us to do so.

Step 5: collecting the Visa form from Consulate
