Other than transit visas, all visa applicants must be \u2018approved\u2019 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Tehran. This includes those seeking a visa on arrival, who can be approved either in advance or, with a longer wait, on arrival. If you\u2019re approved, the MFA sends an authorization number to the consulate or airport, which takes your Iran visa application form<\/a>, passport photos, and fee and issues the visa.<\/p>\n

Generally, there are two ways to get a tourist visa for Iran:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tourist visa via a consulate or the embassy of Iran<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Going directly through a consulate saves an agency fee but often takes longer and it has a much greater chance of rejection as many consulates won\u2019t even accept an application without an authorization number. In theory, you download the Iran visa application form; take or send it with your passport, photos, money, and proof of your travel insurance to the embassy, which then the embassy sends your details to Tehran for approval. If you\u2019re lucky, a week or two later your passport will come back with the issued visa.<\/p>\n
