How to get visa to Iran ?

Getting Tourist Visa to Iran has a simple procedure. Iran Airia can apply and obtain visa authorization for all foreign nationals (except Israeli passport holders) in 10 to 14 working days.

NB: Until further notice we do not apply for visa authorization for Canadian nationals.

Our charges for providing "Visa Authorization" service are:

US $200.00 per person (or 100.00 British Pounds or 170.00 Euros)

  • For those travelers who use a complete tour package for at least a week (including hotels, all airport transfers and transportation, guide, city tours, all meals and entrance fees) visa will be free of charge !

 

For American Nationals we will apply and get visa very quickly in any Iranian Consulate around the world. But we process Iran visa for American passport holders only if they come to Iran as tourists and use our services (hotel, car, guide ... etc.) during their entire stay in Iran. Remember that we do not have any public tour operating at a certain date for any client to join in. You should state the type of ground arrangements you require and we organize a completely private tour for you.

  • The only place to get Iran visa in the United States is the "Interests Section of the Islamic Republic of Iran". This Interests Section acts exactly as an Iranian Consulate but due to lack of full diplomatic ties between Iran and the US, this consulate is located inside the Pakistani Embassy in Washington D.C. (for further information please visit Iranian Interests Section in Washington ).

 

  • Applicants who wish to receive their visas in America (US passport holders or other nationals in America) and are looking for a fast reliable visa service may refer to

  • In order to apply and get your visa authorized we need your passport details and some personal data. ( Please check the following Visa Form ). After receiving the data , we apply for your visa through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran. Your visa will then be authorized by the MFA and the authorization will be faxed (by the MFA) to the Iranian consulate near you . This is, in fact, an "internal correspondence" between the Ministry and one of its consulates. The correspondence will naturally take place under a reference number. It is this reference number we provide you with and we call it "Visa Authorization Reference Number" with which you can refer to the consulate to get your visa . Iranian consulates are everywhere from North , Central and South America to all over Europe , Middle East, Asia, Africa , Australia, and the Far East . The visa authorization number, however, is valid only in the consulate you have asked us your visa to be issued in.  For example, if you originally ask your visa to be issued in Frankfurt and we give you an authorization number, you cannot get your visa with the same authorization number in our consulate in London or Bombay. If you change your mind regarding the visa issuance place, we have to go through the application process once again and another visa authorization fee will be charged.

 

  • The number we give you is just an "authorization". This reference number means that your visa has been authorized and approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but it is not the visa itself. After we announce you the visa authorization reference number you should first get a visa application form from the consulate and follow the requirements of the application form (you may either personally go to the consulate to get the application forms or - if the service available - download it from the web site of the Iranian embassy in your country). Then you should  write a "Cover Letter" in which you must mention that you are a tourist , that Iran Airia is the organizer of your tour (please give full address and contact numbers of Iran Airia) , and that your visa has been authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran with "such & such" Authorization number. Then you should  refer to the consulate to lodge your passport, your photos, and the application forms together with the cover letter. It might take one to five days for the consulate to issue your visa.

  • When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran fax the visa authorization to any of their consulates in the world it usually takes one or two days for the consulate to confirm the receipt of the visa authorization . So after we give you the reference number, please allow one or two days and then refer to the consulate to receive your visa.

  • Normally, all tourist visas issued by Iranian consulates have a "3-month" validity. Therefore, if you like to travel to Iran in, say, September and you receive your visa in June or early July, your visa will expire by the time you arrive in Iran. It is better to get your passport stamped with Iranian tourist visas just a couple of weeks before the date you actually want to arrive in Iran.

NB: Our "Visa Charges" stated above are not the "Visa Stamp Fee" (that varies in different countries and must be paid directly by the applicant to the Iranian Consulate).
