Again, DON'T USE iranianvisa

salaam
I used iranianvisa dot com for my visa. They were good and I got my visa within a few days in LHR.I applied in advance from Australia. They work so well it is hard to believe.All will be done, don't worry.You just state where you want get your visa from if not in your own country, and mash`allah! it works.

I have returned from this India/pak/UAE/Iran trip. It was excellent.Iran is safe and friendly, and everything works there unlike PAK. but it is not a free country at all.I didn't like Irani food. It is bland and boring.However I am used to South Indian,Thai, and Punjabi food.
In Rawalpindi i got my air ticket.
Compare prices between travel agents.
I flew from ISB to Abu Zhabi and then onto Tehran.I travelled overland in Iran and ended up in Shiraz as planned after 3 weeks . On arrival in Tehran at the first opportunity I went and booked an Air iran flight from Shiraz back to Tehran. That was about US$45 one way. CHEAP!
My return ticket from Pak to UAE to IRAN was w/ itahad air.They were Ok. Other options incl. flying into mashshad,Shiraz and Esfahan etc. If you can a ticket with Mahan air they fly from LHR to Iran directly via mashshad. Many pakis who are shia go to Iran/eeraun for pilgramage/'ziarat' so the direct services are often booked up .

Have been waiting for iranianvisa.com to process my visa code since the first week of June. Have now given up. I paid an urgency fee as well. If you dont laugh, you wind up crying. So much for going back to Iran this year...

My girlfriend and I (Canadian and Australian citizens respectively) put our applications through with Iranianvisa.com around the beginning of July. Whilst registering with moneybookers, the third party payment agency they specify, we received several emails urging us with somewhat threatening language to pay as soon as possible. For example, from Sarah on July 10th (we've also received some short emails from Hamid): "> Hello,
> We have not received any news ,yet.
> Please check your monybookers and make the payment asap.
> Your application is under process according your
> confirmaton and costly for
> us.
> We need to report your case to the MFA if you will not pay
> asap."

Upon first try, the account they specify the payment to go to did not work. Hamid asked us to try again, upon which the money went through successfully. This was on July 12th, over two weeks ago. He has not responded thus far to the initial email requesting confirmation nor the one we sent yesterday. Hamid, if you're reading this, please let us know the status of our application as soon as possible.

I'll be sure to update if we see any progress on our visa.

Regards,
Mark

An update on Iranianvisa.com:

So today, August 21st, some six weeks after putting in my application, I received my six digit confirmation code from Iranianvisa.com.

This is far longer than I would have liked for it to take. However, I should note that what may have interrupted the service is the fact that my girlfriend and I put our applications in together, but that after she had to get her passport replaced, Hamid said they had put our applications on "pending" or something similar. After we cancelled her application whilst retaining mine, after some delay, I have finally received my code, some time after I would have preferred.

I will go to the Iranian embassy in New Delhi tomorrow and put it through. Hamid, and the embassy over phone, says it should take one day to process.

Overall for me, I would suggest going to another agent such as key2persia, though from what I've read on this forum, all of the Iranian visa agencies are somewhat unreliable. Iranianvisa.com might have come through in the end, but only after far more hassle than I would find reasonable. It seems partly due to the volatile nature of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), partly the agency (in this case) not communicating as timely and clearly as clients desire.

PS: As a side note, Hamid told me you do not need to book a return or onward flight when using this code, despite what the Iranian consular site suggests. I hope he's right!

NEVER!, Don't use Iranian visa. At the moment you answer them just asking for more information, it is supposed that you accept a kind of "contract" or something similar. Then, they start to send you mails to get you money, threatening you about talk to the MFA and a lot of stupid things.

If you go from Spain to IRAN, YOU DON'T NEED IRANIAN VISA. You need to get the Visa just paying the money to the bank as they tell you in the embassy. Fill the papers, get 2 photos and that is all.

Important: You need an address in Iran, true address with a true telephone number. It could be a hotel that you book on internet.

Best regards.

actually the folks at iranian visa didn't come through with the needful in Lahore.
I paid and they didn't do much in the way of follow up service when I got to Tehran either.

I applied and waited 3 days and got my visa that way. The Iranian visa dot com mob were supposed to send a letter of introduction to the folks at the Lahore consulate but it did not reach , so in actual fact i was apllying directly on my own . Since many sh`ites in Pak. go to Iran on a religious visit it was not unusual to apply through Lahore.

Hello, I am just super disappointed with Iranianvisa. We have paid a hell of a lot of money to get the express issuance of codes and have already been waiting for them for 10 days.... Not just this, we also send emails to them asking to explain what is going on and they are completely ignoring us.... What are we supposed to do? Our visa in Pakistan is about to expire and still we don't have any news about the Iranian one.

Should we apply again through another agency?

IRANIANVISA PLEASE DO SOMETHING OR YOU WEILL BE GOING TO COURT!!!!!!!!!!!!

# 27 just apply in Person in Lahore at the Irani consulate. You will need 3-4 working days to wait for the visa to be issued so explore Lahore in the meantime and it will happen with the natural wheels of Asian bureaucracy not with Irani visa dot com who turned out to be bogus In my opinion.

forget suing people. It could be rushed through the Asian courts in about 347 years.
Cut your losses and apply directly to the Irani consulate wherever you are now,. If you are in Pakistan then do as I suggest in post # 28. Iraani visa dot com didn't deliver the goods for me either. When I asked the Iraani consulate workers about the Letter of Introduction they said they had never got it and I was applying on my own merits in person just like any other Pakistani ID card holder.Plenty of Shi`ites from Pakistan go to Iraan for religious reasons so it is not unusual .
