Iranian Visa
 

Folks,

I didn't want to hi-jack the other thread about Iranian visa's but i thought i'd let those waiting for this visa know of my success.

I hadn't realised that Iran had the unusual New Year so my application was delayed while that period lasted, so i was nervous since i had planned to leave the UK on 1st May. I used Magic Carpet following a recommendation, and the application left their office on April 10th which would have been a weekend day i think in Iran.

The good news is i received an email this morning with my authorization number and i now have one month in which to pick up my visa in Istanbul. I had chosen the Istanbul pick up as i thought it would take much longer to get, if i got it at all, but i could have got it in London with time to spare as it turns out.

Hopefully this will give some cheer to anyone waiting.

Congratulations
 

Put mine in on 5th, but on 15th (when I was hoping for an answer) just got a request for a letter from my employer. Still waiting in Delhi, while I had previously intended to have been across the Pakistan border by the 10th :(. It wouldn't be so bad but it's 40 degrees here....................

we waited for over 5 weeks for ours in london and then the declined it the b@stards! Has left us right in the shit now!!!

Iran visa
 

Hey, good news. Got my Iran visa approval number yesterday :thumbup1:, went to the Embassy in New Delhi this morning and they'd never heard of it :thumbdown: .....

These things are sent to test us................

Given all the hassle in getting an Iran visa (not to mention killer carnets) I am pretty pleased I passed it to the North via the Caspian sea and Turkmenistan, great place.

We applied for ours just before leaving the U.K. Took about two weeks for code from Key2persia.com and we collected from Ankara, Turkey. Took 1/2 day in Ankara. Very easy.
