Today we were informed at the Iranian Consulate in London that we Pakistanis no longer need pre-approval/ e-visas. We can apply for the visa (ziyarat/pilgrim visa was 15 pounds). So no need to get pre-approval e Visa , Just take your Pakistani passport, application and 2 photos. No pre-authorisation needed.

Hi Hamza,
As a Pakistani citizen, you need to apply for an authorization code at http://www.1stquest.com/visa and collect your visa from the Iranian embassy in your country.
After collecting your visa, you have 90 days to enter Iran. After 90days your visa expires.
You will receive your authorization code by email in 3 working days.
After that, you can pick up your visa from an Iranian embassy/consulate, not on arrival.
You pay for the code online and pay for your visa cash in person.
1stQuest code costs 29EUR
