Iran visa - British citizen
Hi all,
My fiancée and I are planning an overland trip starting in a few months. Our plan is to drive through Europe, Turkey, Iran, India, Australia and South America. I'm German but my fiancée is British. I was wondering whether anyone here has any good advice on how he can get a visa? I saw that with a British passport you have to have a tour guide with you at all times. How did others deal with that?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Short version from what I remember! You book a hotel for a night which intern will give you a reference (acts as your sponsor) to apply for you visa. When I went to the embassy I had this reference and a planned route. I was in and out relatively quickly. I would imagine the process will be more seamless as sanctions have been lifted. For a small fee, if you can find an Iranian travel agent they will sort your visa for you.

Merhaba,
Make your visa reference number applications to an Iran tourism company online which is recommended in Hubb forums.Then you apply to an Iranian consulate for the visa.If you wish, you can get your visa in other countries on your route too.
For eg. İstanbul,ankara,trabzon,erzurum consulates available in turkey..when there, you apply to the consulate to get the bank inf.,then make the fee payment there,then come back again to the consulate,fill the visa form,include the copies and 3-4 days later you will pick your visa..
I hope the bike is not UK. number plated and official owner is not UK.citizen.In this case,you must hire a guide via the same iran tourism company until you leave iran.Even no airport visa possible..
This is the current situation hoping it may change soon as international business permission with iran has just started..
All the best..

This topic has been discussed so much on the Middle East and Trip Paperwork forums, have a look there for answers.
In short, UK passport = no travel without a guide.

Thanks a lot. Looks like we need a guide. I'm German but the car is registered in the UK and my partner is British. Suppose we'll have to see whether there is a cheap-ish guide.

It does not matter where the car is registered, only the nationality of the passport holder.
