I travelling soon bro.. Next month is too late. Haha. But I asked my agent. She tells me they are open 24hrs. But not sure of the sarafi which is famous. Departure hall 2nd floor. Apparently they offer the best rates in Iran.

OK I confirm there's a sarafi on the 2nd floor. 24hrs. Very good rate. Don't change in any bank u see when you arrive. Collect your luggage and exit the area and then go up the escalator. There's a sarafi on the left.

There is a limit on how much a person can exchange. For me, they allowed 100 euro only. So, i think you still need to exchange in the city.

Hi is this still true?

I would be going from 3 to 25 Dec. Which is more than 2 weeks. I need to get a visa done in advance?

Less than 2 weeks stay, VOA.

MORE THAN 2 weeks stay, apply before arrival in Iran.

you can get from the airport. a bit more expensive and need to wait 3-4 hours for activation to complete.

or you can borrow mine, but it has little balance left, so getting a recharge may be troublesome to you.

Hi,

I am planning to follow this tour to Iran https://www.gadventures.com/trips/iran-discover-persia/3803/itinerary/

It is noted under the visa section that for VOA:
Please note if you are applying for visa on arrival, as the Authorization Number/Visa Grant Number is valid for 30 days it will be sent to you 1-2 weeks before departure (depending when you submitted your application for Authorization Number/Visa Grant Number).

Anybody know what this Authorization Number/Visa Grant Number is?

Many thanks for the info!

imho, visa pre-authorization is unnecessary. you will still need to queue up and apply for visa upon arrival. it doesn't guarantee you a visa nor speed up the process.
