He he touchy subject for me. I applied for my Iran visa in Istanbul on the 4th August and was told it would take 10 days. I arranged with them that I could pick it up in Erzurum, but after 17 days and many phone calls later, was politely told by the Istanbul mob that they hadn't bothered sending my application to Iran for approval. So I had to re-apply here in Erzurum again and have been waiting a week so far. I will let you know if I ever get it.
However, another Hubber, Andy, came straight here and applied and his was ready in 10 days. I have heard some horror stories from other travellers regarding applying here but don't know how many of them are true.
I haven't bothered doing too much touring around while waiting as fuel is so bloody expensive here that it's cheaper to stay put and be bored. Bring on the cheap petrol in Iran!!!
