#2  Iran Visa for Australian Citizens

Iran Visa for an Australian Citizen can be slightly different from other countries, in that for getting an Iran Visa all tourists need to, before appearing at the embassy, first acquire the ” Iran Visa Authorization Code” or ” Iran Visa Grant Notice”. As perplexing the phrase may sound, it is simply the notice by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that your visa application has been processed approved. To start the application process, you need to:

1. Submit the electronic Iran Visa Application Form and requested documents via the MFA E-Visa website of Iran Ministry of Foreign Affairs
2. Within approximately 10 business days, your Visa Application will be approved and you will receive your Iran Visa Authorisation Code within 10 business days approximately via a veified E-mail. (Processing times can take longer depending on submitted documents, nationality, etc.)
3. At this point, Australian citizens have the option of Visa-on-Arrival at Iranian International Airports, OR appear in person at the Iranian Embassy in Canberra, presenting the “Iran Visa Grant Notice”, their passport and the visa fee, to receive your Iran Visa.

• Tip: We recommend to have your visa before arriving to the country, to avoid wasting of time at Visa Counters at airports. What matters most is that you should have your letter of Iran Visa Authorization Code with you on arrival to Iran.

#5 When Is the Best Time for a Tour to Iran from Australia?

The Best Time to Visit Iran: Iran enjoys a wide variety of climates: from chilling cold and mountainous on the margins to hot and desert in the center, to humid on the coastlines throughout the year. So, tours of Iran from Australia are available throughout the year, depending on what aspect of Iran you wish to explore:

#1 High Season (Spring/Fall)

Typically, Iran Tours are scheduled during spring (March to May) and fall (September to November), as the temperature is mild across the country. As a local Iranian tour operator, we can offer eclectic Iran tours from Australia to enjoy Iran’s natural and cultural climate:

Please note: During Ramadan, which changes from year to year, and the Persian New Year on March 21^st it is not the most suitable time to take a tour to Iran from Australia.

While underestimated during summer and winter, Iran has its unique wonders to offer for Iran tours from Australia during the low seasons:

During summer, not ordinarily toured western and northwestern cities of Iran enjoy a cool weather, due to being situated at the foothills of Iran’s two major mountain ranges: Alborz and Zagros.

#8 Currency Exchange in Iran

Currency Exchange in Iran can be somewhat confusing to foreign tourist at first. So, taking into account the following points is necessary while planning your tours to Iran from Australia:

• No Credit Cards : International Credit Cards like Visa Card or Master Card, etc. are not usable at all in Iran, due to banking sanctions.
• Cash Only : Please be careful to bring the total expenses of your stay in Iran in CASH Dollars or Euros. Exchange houses are available throughout the city and at the airports of arrival. While the currency exchange rate at airports and hotels are different from in the city, it is highly recommended to change a small amount of your dollars at the airport and change the rest throughout your trip. (The exchange rate at airports and hotels are slightly higher and less to your advantage than the city offices.)
• Rial and Toman : Iran’s official currency is Rial (as printed on Iranian bank notes). Yet, the popular currency is Toman ( 1 Toman = 10 Rials). This is usually confusing to foreigners, as price tags are found in both currencies (always stated next to the price as R for Rial or T for Toman). So it is always better to ask before paying the amount.
• Rate Fluctuation : Slight Daily changes in exchange rates is normal in Iran.

 

#7 Accommodation and Culinary Delights

Accommodation and culinary delights: On tours to Iran from Australia, one can have a variety of choices for type of accommodation based on their budget and taste:

• Modern hotels ranging from 2 to 5-star are available .
• Boutique hotels: Historical houses turned into guest houses with modern amenities, while maintaining their traditional facade showcasing the Iranian historical architecture are tourist attractions on their own : From luxe options such as Abbasi Hotel in Isfahan (+300 years old) or Saraye Ameriha in Kashan, to more affordable ones.
• Eco-lodges are also an affordable option to offer both comfort and a chance to  to get to know Iranian lifestyle especially in towns and villages.

Iranian gastronomy also counts as a manifestation of Iranian culture, in that it is quite different from the western cuisine. While not offering strange choices of food, Iranian cuisine is a combination of  large-portions of rice, traditional bread, stews and kebabs, served with green vegetables and traditional yoghurt. Iranian cuisine can stun western tourists for their large portion,  lacking variety of raw vegetables as in other countries, or vegetarian meal choices.

• IMPORTANT: Consumption of pork and alcoholic drinks of any kind are against the religious laws, hence strongly forbidden., and basically not available at all.
