Iran / Pakistan visas
Hi!
I've got a few questions I hope someone can help me with.
I'm about to apply for my Pakistan visa through Gerry's in London. Anyone got any experience with the turnaround times? I can't find reference to an express service - but I'm rather hoping there is one.
My problem is this: I am a dual Irish-UK citizen. I am travelling east from the UK. I will use my UK passport to travel the EU, whilst my Irish passport is getting the PAK visa. I will use my Irish passport to travel to Iran, and would like to travel on with this. Apparently, the Iranians will want to see a Turkish stamp - so does this mean I will have to wait in eastern Europe for my PAK visa to be ready?
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks guys.

Gerry's
We used Gerry's in Manchester for our Pakistan visa this time last year. Submitted them in person on the Saturday morning and got a txt that they were ready to collect on Tuesday.
We didn't use any express service, their turnaround was really quick.
Cheers
Jaime

Could you share your experiences getting the LOI? Did you mention you were travelling overland?
Thanks!

Yes we said overland. They were not bothered about that.
We also said our exact route overland on our visa application and all was fine.

I got my Iranian visa a few weeks ago, I paid an extra fee of 20£ and I collected the passport on the same day: entry in 90 days from date of issue and 30 days validity from date of entry.
