Im not sure about that, there has been conflicting info about it. You can definitely get a 7 days visa, and it should be easy to get an extension. http://iranianvisa.com/uponarr.htm

NO ! Australian citizens do NOT qualify for the on arrival visa ! So you'll have to get your visa beforehand in Australian at the Iranian embassy.

Austrian, not australian.

Salaam Amir agha!
A gentleman, who is a hotel manager has confirmed me that there is a 15 days visa on arrival for Iran starting with the 19.2. The Austrian citizens are also qualified to get this kind of visa.
would you be so kind as to call the immigration office and tell me how it is.

very grateful to you.

point 2 in the thread 8 on regulations is not clear. what do they mean by "introduction"? I heard that some people had problems as they were asked by the immigration officer to present not only a letter of hotel booking confirmation but a name and phone of a person to confirm it. though finally he permitted to enter the country.
