Iranian visa agency for foreign travelers
Tourists who wish to travel to Iran, in addition to registering on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran, can get their tourist visa through reputable travel agencies.
Agencies licensed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can apply for Iran visa applicants in the special panel of travel agencies.
In this method, because the documents are prepared and reviewed by the agency and the travel agency is introduced as the applicant’s sponsor and host, the possibility of the application being rejected is minimized.
In this type, the agency receives the documents from the visa applicant and after reviewing and solving possible problems, registers the visa application in the panel and finally obtains a tracking code.
According to experience, requests registered by the agency are answered faster than personal requests.
1. The travel agency receives a fee for consulting, reviewing documents, following up the visa issuance process in person if necessary, and hosting the applicant, as the cost of obtaining a barcode.
Due to the fact that this site has a long history in the field of Iran visa and operates directly with a high number of requests, it charges a lower fee than other reputable agencies in Iran.
Keep in mind that some travel agencies that charge a low fee are not licensed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and file the application in person, which increases the possibility of visa rejection.
In this type of Iran tourist visa, the agency receives a fee for visa advice and hosting for the applicant.
Keep in mind, the agencies are only visa agents and the main authority for issuing Iranian visas is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
