How to get visa ahead of time?

If you don’t want to waste your valuable time in the long lines of the airports, so we recommend you to take visa ahead of time. For this, you sometimes need an LOI. Check with your embassy if this applies to you.
To apply for an LOI, an authorization number must be issued to you by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can apply for one from an approved Iranian tour operator. Travelers from the UK/Canada have extra requirements regarding the authorization number (see below).
Authorization numbers usually take about 3 to 4 weeks to be issued, and are only valid for 30 days once issued. Be careful about when you apply! You don’t want to go through the process only to have your number expire before you apply for a visa.
When applying for the authorization number, you must specify which embassy you’ll pick up your visa from. Your visa application will only be valid for that embassy, so choose wisely! Once your authorization number has been issued, go to the embassy and submit your visa application. You can usually get your visa on the same day.
