Admit to previous (British) nationality die Iran Visa?
Hello,
I'm not sure anyone will know the answer to this, but maybe someone can hazard a guess?! Having gone to the bother of getting a German passport, hopefully allowing me to enter Iran without needing a guide, I am just about to fill out the form for the code for the Iran visa. And as this is the first encounter with burocracy since getting the new passport, I've spotted a question which was always irrelevant previously: The form asks you to specify your previous nationality, if any. Should I complete it, saying I'm British and run the risk of being told I need a guide? Should I omit it and then I haven't fully truthfully completed the form? I am actual dual nationality now, British AND German, as those are the current rules for EU citizens (who knows how long that will continue with Brexit, but I guess that's a different post!) so British is not strictly a 'previous' nationality...?! Thanks in advance! Helen |
I doubt they would make you take a guide for having 'previously' been British (though as you say, technically this question still does not apply to you).
But I wouldn't take the risk, leave it blank. |
I have an Irish and a UK passport. I just 'forgot' to mention the British bit when applying. They never knew - I'm not even sure how they would go about finding out. Just make sure you don't bring your UK one with you.

Tx bonnie! And EO (apologies, I thought I'd replied to you already, sorry if not).
I even have an agency who confirmed the same! |
No problem! What's funny is that lots of people have never heard of Ireland, and just assume I'm British anyway!
Have a good trip - Iran is great. |
And make sure you cover your hair Helen, not only is it the law in Iran they will never believe you are German if they see it. doh Have a great trip.

Hahaha!! Too true, thanks for the reminder!

Just to finish this thread off:
We got the numbers without a problem: the agency didn't want to know where we are going and as aid they would submit the itinerary. This in itself was great as I saw the Caravanistan agency not only asks you for your route but also tells you to inform them if you deviate from it (sniffs of money-making opportunities to my suspicions mind). In Erzurum in Turkey we got the visa in 2.5 hours !!! (75€) and could therefore continue directly in our way rather than having to stay overnight. The question about my father being British didn't interest them. Now we're finally here and enjoying! |

Could you specify which agency you used for the Iranian visa and if they have a website or at least a contact number? Cheers |
Hi!
Sure! I can't actually find any emails from her with full contact details, though she did send me one once, But her email address is: zafary@iranparadise.com And her name is: Ms. Sharareh ZAFARY If they have a website I never used it, she just sent across a really basic form we we completed and returned. She took care of the Itinerary for the MFA. Paid cash $40 each, once we were in the country. Helen |
I've found her full contact details now, in case anyone wants to use them:
