But I got rejected five times in E-Visa. I only could get my E-Visa with the help of an agency, that could arrange in one day. Then I did the visa in one day at the embassy in Baku..\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/ShowTopic-g293998-i9139-k11705915-Iran_E_Visa_rejected_VoA_still_possible-Iran.html\">Stefan<\/a>, South Korean\/German citizen: \u201c\u2026. So I actually applied for Iran Transit Visa through http:\/\/e_visa.mfa.ir\/en\/. My first and second try were each two and a bit more than a month ago but both applications were rejected and I visited Iranian consulate, they said I should try to apply for tourist visa. I tried and right now it was rejected again.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/ShowTopic-g293998-i9139-k11091895-Iran_e_visa_rejected-Iran.html\">Awkulli<\/a>, German citizen: \u201cI am a bit desperate as scheduled to travel to Iran in one week already&#8230; I was planning on getting a VoA at IKA, for which I should be eligible for as a German citizen, however also read that it is helpful to submit an e-visa request up front and bring the printed request along. Unfortunately, this request has been rejected twice after less than 24h each time in an automated message (first time because host information was incomplete &#8211; my fault; and the second time without reason). &#8230; .\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why should I use 1stQuest visa service?<\/h2>\n<p>Applying for Iran e visa with 1stQuest professional visa service has major advantages to MFA service.
