If you are looking for Iran visa services, we are here to help you. You can obtain your visa to Iran conveniently ONLY if you take a tour with us. Therefore, if you want to travel to Iran and a visa is the only thing you need, unfortunately, we cannot help.
Tourist visas could be a no-charge part of our tour package services. Once you decide to travel with us to Iran, we provide Iran visa services without any charges. If you have decided to plan your own trip to Iran and leave Iran visa services to an Iranian tour operator, you’re at the right place.
It’s always more convenient to leave it to an Iranian tour operator who does this several times a week for its clients. We, as such party, could help you obtain your tourist visa to Iran in the most efficient and proficient fashion. Of course, you can independently go to any of the Iranian embassies all over the world and apply for an Iranian visa.
Iran Visa Services Process
When you approve the itinerary, price, and service details, we start processing your visa inquiry. You will be required to:
Scan the first page of your passport in JPG/JPEG format and submit it to us.
- Complete the application form we’ll provide to you and submit it to us.
- Let us know where (which country, port of entry in Iran) you’d like to get your visas.
Note:
To ask for our Iran visa services, your passport should at least be valid for 6 months so that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) grants you the visa.
Then, email the above documents to us. Upon receiving these files, we will apply for your Iran visas as your host. It will take between 7-10 working days to get the confirmation of your visa applications from the Iranian ministry of foreign affairs. An Iran visa authorization may take around 5 weeks for US citizens to obtain it.
When they authorize your visas to be issued, MFA will provide us with an authorization reference number. We send you this number so that you can go to your designated Iranian embassy or consulate to get an Iranian visa on your passport.
Such a visa authorization number is indicative of the fact that MFA has agreed to provide you with a visa to Iran. It’s valid only at the embassy/consulate you’ve mentioned. You’re supposed to go within three days to the chosen office and present the reference number so that you can get your visa on your passport. This could also be done by a reliable mailing service.

If you’re thinking about getting an Iranian visa to travel to Iran, you may find the following tips helpful before you take any action:
