Are Iran Visas available in Istanbul
Hi All
My wife and I drove from Dubai to UK in Dec 2011 throgh Iran which is an fantastic country to visit.
We are now considering a 'Winter In Arabia' six month trip for next winter incl Turkey,Iran,UAE and Oman.
We are UK citizens but live in Spain so getting Iranian visas in Spain or UK will be very time consuming so,the question is:
'Are Iranian Visas available to UK citizens in Istanbul?'

Yep. We applied in June 2013. You probably know from your 2011 visit but you need a Letter of Invite reference number (which I think comes from the Iranian Immigration office or something similar) to submit your application. It was the very first thing they asked us at the embassy.

Letter of Invitation
If I remember correctly the Invitation is done by the tour company that arrange the visa for you. When I applied at the embassy in Dubai in 2011 they gave me a list of 3-4 operators that would do this.
All worked well at that time.
PS. There is another thread re guides. This question was never raised in 2011 and I would 'guess only' that it can be overcome in detaied discussion with travel agent whilst applying for the visa.

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.
