Visa and Ferry for Iran
Hi Roaming Yak
I am in Dubai at present and currently applying for a visa and trying to track down ferry co(all current details seem to be wrong/outdated).
I am going to the Iranian Consulate tomorrow morning to find out about overlanding visa. I plan to travel thro Iran in November. I will email again tomorrow with up to date info but in the meantime I can confirm that you can get a visa here.
Do you have any reliable contacts for Sharjah-Bandar Abbas RoRo ferry?

Visa For Iran in Dubai
I've just been to the Iranian Consulate and Visas for arrival by sea have to be obtained from Dubai before arrival and take between 3 days and 4 weeks depending on what happens once the application goes in. I have been informally advised that because I am overlanding and want to stay 4-6 weeks that my visa application will have to go to Tehran and will therefore take the longer route.
I have also attached extract from mail I have received from Persian Tours Co.
Touristy visa: (thorough agency -30 day’s validity) It is safe to say that least needed time for the issuance touristy visa this way is 3 to 4 weeks for American passport holder.
For that it would be very helpful to consider starting the Visa issuance processing well in advance.
There are 4 items needed to get your visa application file ready.
A-applicants visa application be filled and sent to us. You can send us your visa application through our online visa application form available in the following link:
http://www.irantravelingcenter.com/visa_iran_visa.htm
B- Scan of the main page of applicants passports (one scans each person of his or her passport main page which holds the persons picture)
C- A short resume (CV, a short summery of your past and present work and education story)
D- A short itinerary
The Passport scan and CV can be sent to us by Email (tours.irantravelingcenter@gmail.com) but the main visa application form is an online form which you just need to fill it on our website and submit it. As soon as we get your visa applications we will send your confirmation and complementary information.
Attention:
An important point that you are advised to pay attention is that if any cancellation or change of time occurs from your side, you must pay the cancellation fee based on the stage of your travel process that we are involved.Our service fee for visa is 60 US$ per person but note that you need to pay the consulate fee at the embassy too. This fee is different in each country and it is negotiable. If you arrange your tour through us your visa will be free on tour.
The other significant matter to notice is that please reconfirming the total rate one month before your travel to Iran for the benefit of both sides.
I am now tracking down Valfajr shipping co and will post further details soon.

Did you make it?
I here there is also a ferry from Kuwait, but that needs another Saudi transit ;(

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
