Spelling mistake on Iranian visa
 

Hey
Justed picked up my Iranian visa and when I got home I saw they mispelled my name (on the bottom "barcode" part)..
I'm leaving in 10 days time by motorbike and still need another visa (turkmenistan) so cant afford to leave my passport again.. Anyone with a similar experience? I don't know if I should just go for it and pretend I never saw it.. Or go back to the embassy..

Thoughts?

Well
To close the subjest and fyi; it appears (What an Iranian contact told me, not embassy though) that the spelling of my name in Iranian is diffferent..
So I should be ok.. Let's hope it really is like that..
Sorry for this.

If you can read Farsi script, you'll probably notice that your name sounds rather different, as it is transliterated by someone (or perhaps a machine) who may be unable to pronounce it correctly. On my five Iranian visas, I don't think my name has been spelt the same twice, and never does it read correctly in Farsi.

The machine readable strip at the bottom is then re-transliterated from Arabic to Latin alphabets, meaning it is unlikely to look the same. Not to worry.

The only things which have to match are your passport number, and the visa dates must match in the Persian / Western Calendars.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Maybe just for the record: it's exactly like said above and no problems at the border whatsoever.
Cheers
