Iran Visa Pars Tourist Agency (largest inbound tourism agency in Iran) will be providing visa support. In any case, leave us do all the paper work for you. Do not worry or let this overcome your decision.

The visa on arrival cost varies from 30 Euros to 100 Euros depends on your nationality. US/UK/Canada nationals need to apply visa pre-approval at least 2 months in advance. Once obtained pre-approval from Ministry of Foreign Affairs Iran (MFA), you can pick up your visa at your Iranian embassy of choice. (No visa on arrival facility for US/UK/Canada citizens) US/Canada citizens can post their passport to Iranian interest section in the embassy of Pakistan in Washington D.C once obtained the pre-approval code from MFA. It takes one week to receive the visa and your passport back. For UK/US/Canada citizens, it is strongly recommended that you receive your visa first, then proceed to book your international ticket to Iran. You are responsible for the visa cost to Iran which varies depends on your nationality.
Aviation Photography in Iran We plan to do some aircraft spotting on a flexible basis so we get to see more and make the most of it. However, Iran doesn't recognize it as a hobby and we will do this at our own risk. While we will be escorted by Iranian aviation enthusiasts in general locations to view airplanes landing/takeoff, doing it will be at your own risk and I cannot assume any responsibility on this. Photography of airplanes is technically illegal in Iran. We will have full photo access in the Iran Air Show. Last Minute Changes Iranian airlines publish their domestic schedule as late as 10 days in advance and we are almost certain to face last minute changes. Therefore the above schedule is tentative only. We will send out the final schedule a week before the tour aiming to cover all of the proposed highlights. We will do our utmost to make sure everyone get on the B727 and An-74.
