Iranian Tourist Visa Application Procedure - All nationalities except U.S. CitizensWe are pleased to offer a service, whereby we can obtain a single entry tourist visa for Iran. This can take around two to three weeks from the time we receive your completed application form. To apply for an Iranian visa please complete our Visa Enquiry Form and submit it to us. We will then contact you to discuss your individual requirements. Currently double, multiple entry or transit Iran visas are not available. However we can arrange for business and press visas. Please contact us for full details. The visa allows you to stay in Iran for up to 30 days, although the duration of your Iran visa is at the discretion of the Iranian Foreign Ministry. At times they may only grant 12-day visas, even if we ask for 4 weeks, for which we cannot be held responsible. However, you can easily get a visa extension once you arrive in Iran, at no extra cost, by going to any police station or the Aliens Office in Tehran. We process your application through our office in Tehran, who apply on your behalf to the Iranian Foreign Ministry. The visa is issued in the form of a reference number. We will contact you by e-mail and telephone, as soon as we receive the visa reference number. You will then need to allow two working days before you are able to collect your Visa stamp at the Iranian Consulate. We will provide you precise instructions in order to have the visa stamped into your passport, once your Iran visa is issued. We can send your visa permit to any Iranian Consulate around the world. So you can collect your visa at any Iranian consulate worldwide. However, you must specify which country, at the time of application. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the time you enter Iran. Please check there are at least two blank pages in your passport. You have one month to have the Iran visa stamped into your passport, from the time the visa permit is issued. From the date your passport is stamped with the visa, you have three months to enter Iran. In order to apply for your Iran visa we need you to complete and return by e-mail the Iran Visa enquiry form. We require the visa service fee payment at the time of application. The visa service fee is £120 per person. We prefer to receive payment on debit or credit card (there is a 2% surcharge if you use a credit card). However you can also make payment by bank transfer or cheques to: 'Magic Carpet Travel Ltd'. Please check payment page for details. Our Iran visa service fee is excluding the visa stamp fees charged by the Iranian Consulate - currently £80 for British passport holders (October 2008) and payable directly to them (they accept payment by debit/credit card or cash but not cheques). Please contact us to find out the visa stamp fees charged by the Consulate, for other nationalities. Or you can contact the Iranian consulate in London directly on 020 7937 5225. If you require an urgent visa please contact us to discuss how quickly we can arrange the visa and what the extra costs will be. Currently we charge £200 (excluding Consular stamp fees) to obtain an urgent visa is 7 working days. This may change and you will need to confirm this at the time you wish to apply. We can have the visa stamped into your passport, for a further fee of £50 per passport. If you would like us to do this on your behalf, please use registered mail to send us your passport, completed visa application form R1 & R2 (in black ink), two photographs (ladies with a headscarf) together with the fee of £50. Please allow one to two weeks for this process. In order to make a visa application, please complete and return the 'Visa enquiry form' form online. We also require a copy of the main page of your passport (page with the photo). You can scan this and send as an attachment, or fax it to us. Once your visa permit is issued within two to three weeks, you will need to take the following documents to the Iranian Consulate in order to have the visa stamped in. You can either do this in person, or much more conveniently, send your visa application by registered mail. We will give you precise instructions for this part of the process, once you have applied for a visa. Please allow about one week for this part of the process. Once we give you the visa permit number, you need the following
